These are the things I do to make sure I can work consistently with
UTF-8.
1) Make sure that the MySQL server and your database and all tables
within it are configured to store and output strings as UTF-8.
2) Make sure that the MySQL connection from CAKE is configured for
UTF-8 encoding. I do this in an overriden constructor in
app/app_model.php:
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->execute("SET NAMES 'UTF8'");
}
- I got this from an earlier discussion in this group I think. It made
the real difference for me.
3) Set the encoding for all your views as UTF-8 using the PHP header
command. At the moment I do this right at the top of my layouts - it
needs to go in somewhere before anything else is rendered:
<?php header("Content-type: text/html;charset=UTF-8"); ?>
4) Set the charset in HTML using the HTMLHelper although I don't think
this is so important:
<?php echo $html->charset('utf-8')?>
5) Make sure all your .php and .thtml files are UTF-8 encoded. Eclipse
and JEdit both do this fine and consistently.
- str_replace seems to work for me if I do all that (in PHP4) - I don't
use the multibyte functions.
