title: Using Cakephp Forms with special character encoding
body: <p>I'm starting to use cakephp and i still have some doubts. Precisely about the .ctp files. After research, i found they are template files used to phpcake to read php code. But what about the encoding. I tested this code in a file with "Utf-8 without bom" codification", but browsers still can't recognize letters like "ç" or "ã" contained in the following example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- File: /app/View/Posts/add.ctp --&gt;
  
  &lt;h1&gt;Add Post&lt;/h1&gt;
  &lt;?php
  echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;create('Post');
  echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('Nome Produto');
  echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('Código Produto');
  echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('Versão');
  echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('Data');
  //echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('body', array('rows' =&gt; '3'));
  echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;end('Criar Ficha');
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There is some particular configuration i need to add to this ctp files to avoid this codification problems?</p>
  
  <p>P.S. Problem solved. The Form->input was created wrong. Should have been: </p>
  
  <pre><code>echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('cod_produto', array('label' =&gt; 'Código Produto:'));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>since the first parameter is the name of the field in the bd. Thanks mark for all the help!</p>
