Hi all,
Was wondering if it is possible to put together a list of things between PHP, Apache, MySQL and HTML configurations etc. to ensure that if you have say a textarea in your form, to accept all utf-8 characters eg. German Umlaute's , Pound sign's etc. and for the input to go into a MySQL Database using php, and then be retrieved via php and outputted back to the user and provided that their browser is set to UTF-8, for the output to look exactly as they entered it.
To start the list off as an example:
- Make sure the table in MySQL is created with CHARSET=utf-8
I have iconv hacks all over the place to make this happen at the moment, and I believe the reason I have to do this is purely configuration issues or incorrect Meta tags etc.
Any input welcome.
