just my experience, but as long as it has the meta tag w/ utf-8 in it, the browser sends (and receives) utf-8. i can store the strings in mysql without modification or character set conversion, it works like a charm. the only thing that might need help then is doing string modifications like urlencoding, or replacement on the utf-8 characters... i haven't had to do that yet, but otherwise the end-to-end utf-8 solution has worked like a charm for me. but yes, it does require browsers+utf8, running it out of that context may or may not work depending on what you're trying to do with the data.. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
