actually, i have no idea because i have no idea what problem you are trying
to solve and i apologize for presumptuous. i presumed that you have a php
app with a bunch of data in mysql and you needed to handle international
characters in the db beyond latin-1.
Actually, that describes me. I'm using UTF-8 on XHTML 1 pages with
the .php extension, so that I can do wizard-like things when it is
necessary. But I recently encountered an issue with a lengthy passage
Turkish text where it was necessary to display accent marks on consonant
characters. Particularly, on upper and lower case "G" characters.
Granted, this isn't a PHP question but I'm curious, how does UTF-8 solve
this display issue? Because I've Googled until I'm blue in the face
but I didn't find a resolution that was ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 compatible.
Bringing it back around, thank you Tedd for the suggestion of going
through the .docs and writing examples of each function. Brilliant!
