Since I have to use a number of Western languages that have those annoying accents on many characters, I am already finding some annoyances in my code results; like having to enter the á type of stuff in inputs for searches & queries. MySql db is set up for InnoDB with latin1_swedish_ci for Collation; I believe this is default. Utf-8 seems to be one way to overcome the problems, but is it the only way - seems a little cumbersome as I have no need for oriental & other extra-terrestrial cyphers. (I'm incorrigibly lazy.) If it is the only way, what difficulties could I expect from an ISP hosting a virtual site? -- Hervé Kempf: "Pour sauver la planète, sortez du capitalisme." ------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Jourdan --- pj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com/andypantry.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
