According to woorank.com my page shows the following.
Language
Declared: Missing
Detected: en
I have used
header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
but do not know how I declare the language.
how is this done ?
also how do i specify Language/character encoding

ok thanks.
when I validate the page using w3.org I get the following error.
No Character encoding declared at document level
I thought using
header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
set the encoding, if not what does ?
That looks like a PHP method to me :)... What prevents you from using a classical META tag to define the charset?

ok I trust that you must be right, but... this is the error I get in w3.org validator...
Line 54, Column 35: Bad value language for attribute name on element meta: Keyword language is not registered.
<meta name="language" content="en">
Because the correct syntax is:
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en">
