[Discuss] Please help with a PHP and/or Apache2 problem

[malassimilation at gmail.com (Bill Horne)]

Thanks for reading this. I appreciate your time.

I'm the moderator of The Telecom Digest <http://telecom-digest.org/>, 
and I publish an archive of the Digest's back issues.

I've noticed a problem with the archive: the Digest uses the ISO-8859-1 
character set, but somehow the archives aren't using it, at least in my 
Chrome browser Version 88.0.4324.150 under W10.

Please compare the result you get from both of these URL's ...

http://telecom-digest.org/archives/back.issues/recent.single.issues/a2.php 
<http://telecom-digest.org/archives/back.issues/recent.single.issues/a2.php>

http://telecom-digest.org/archives/back.issues/recent.single.issues/V40-38 
<http://telecom-digest.org/archives/back.issues/recent.single.issues/V40-38>

The first URL shows today's Digest, with some question marks in place of 
accented characters. The second appears to be normal.

The "a2.php" file is a stripped-down version of our usual archive 
retrieval code. It is shown below.

> <?php
> include "[redacted]/archives/back.issues/recent.single.issues/V40-38";
> ?>

The question is "why?"? All suggestions welcome.

Bill
