As I understand it, or not, more likely, you want to configure your MySQL server to use UTF-8, and your MySQL client to use UTF-8 and pretty much everything to use UTF-8, and then you can convert your data to UTF-8 and its gonna store it in a way that you'll be able to convert back to Latin-1 or whatever you like. At least, that's what Mark Matthews of MySQL A/B said in his talk about this at our more recent Chicago MySQL User Group meeting. You may want to take this question to the i18n PHP list, where people who have actually done it hang out. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
