Hi,
WeBuilder (v. 11.01) asks if it should write/save in utf-8 with or without BOM. I searched the Help file but that doesn't cover it. What is BOM and what should I choose?

- Check the Support section of the corresponding product first. Chances are you will find your answer there;
- Do not create new topics for already reported problems. Add your comments to the existing topics instead;
- Create separate topic for each problem request. Do NOT post a number of non-related problem reports in a single topic;
- Give your topic a meaningful title. Titles such as "A question," "Bug report" and "Help!" provide others no clue what your message is about;

Re: BOM or no BOM?
Thanks. From that page: "For instance in PHP, the existence of a BOM will cause the page to begin output before the initial code is interpreted, causing problems if the page is trying to send custom HTTP headers (which must be set before output begins)." Reason enough to put WeBuilder in no-BOM mode.
Re: BOM or no BOM?
Yep, PHP sucks at UTF-8 with BOM! :-/
