languages and PHP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all.

this is more of a general question but Im sure some people will have experience and also it will be useful to others who are looking for the same answers as I am.

What are the implications of having a site that has many different languages, including latin and non latin characters?

Firstly, can a mysql database handle these characters normally? or would you have to have a table for each language and set a different CHARSET for each language depending on the type of language?

Secondly, PHP and displaying the information: Is there anything that needs to change with regards to PHP and handling of these characters? OR is it able to handle all characters fine?

HTML: I assume the charset changes in the metatag in the <head> of the document?

Is there anything else that I might be missing or other problems that I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance.
