I’m running an old mass-embedder script that a freelancer built for me. Everything still functions, but one page—get.php—now displays the wrong glyphs whenever a string contains special characters such as accents, quotes, or symbols. Standard English letters remain fine, so the symptom is clearly “incorrect characters” rather than missing text. Nothing has changed in the codebase or on the server from my side, which leads me to believe a charset header, database collation, or browser-side UTF-8 negotiation has drifted out of sync. I need someone to track down the exact cause and restore proper rendering, without disrupting the rest of the embedder. Deliverables • A corrected get.php (and any other file you need to touch) with concise inline comments. • A brief summary explaining the root cause and the fix so I can maintain it going forward. You’ll have full FTP and cPanel access and I can test your changes in real time.
