Hello, I would like my blog to be a Unicode enabled site. How am I going to do that? My blog is very simple, there are fields of EntryNum, Date, Title and Content in mysql database, but I want write some characters into my entry and save it to mysql, after that retrieve those characters and display on browser. Any thoughts?
Just send the encoding format from the PHP header function, the encoding meta tag does not work unless your a bot :)Quote:

If you site is an XM spec. you can use something like this:
Or the IE blocker :DPHP Code:<?php
header('Content-type: application/text-html');
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' . "\n";
?>
Cheers,PHP Code:<?php
header('Content-type: application/xhtml+xml');
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' . "\n";

PHP doesn't support unicode by default. However, you can either compile Multi-Byte String support into PHP or do it your self:

Wasn't the queston about MySQL support too? I know 4.1.1 suports it because our server supports it and thats what I have :)Quote:

Yeah, the question was about MySql; but I assumed he might want to use PHP collect and display the information. :D
Unicode characters below 255 display fine, however, characters with a higher value will be interpreted by PHP as two separate characters. The resulting output then gets scrambled.
Um, it's "text/html" - "application/text-html" doesn't exist.Quote:
header('Content-type: application/text-html');
