jetbrains phpstorm & encoding

Question

Character encoding

Good afternoon!
It so happened that I have to work with two projects - one has the default windows-1251 encoding, the other has utf-8. I use phpstorm for work and now every time I open another project I have to change the ide encoding in Settings->File Endcodings, otherwise I start editing 1251 files as utf and vice versa.

And now an interesting situation has turned out in general - I forgot to switch the encoding from utf8 to 1251 and edited one file from the project (1251) in utf encoding. Then I opened it with notepad++ and converted it to 1251, switched phpstorm to 1251, but now phpstorm shows it as utf-8 regardless of the settings.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong and the problem is not in phpstorm?

ps. phpstorm v3.0

Answer 1

notepad++ likes to leave the BOM, maybe because of it PHPStorm thinks it's utf8?

Answer 2

In the same place, these settings are set per project, i.e. set your own once for each project and that's it.

Answer 3

If it's the BOM, then it can be removed in phpStrom via the context menu in the list of project files.
