Page Content Type IE6?

I was having problems with IE6 displaying blank pages all the time, and I read this post about it.

When I add

<?php
header
('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
?>

to the pages, the regular content is rendered. When I take it away, the blank pages come back.

The content type on the page is:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is? Is there another way to fix it? Is it something in Apache?

If I add

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

In the site's virtual host file, I can remove the PHP header content-type.

Any ideas why this must be done for IE6?
