1) Page containing the input form is set to UTF-8
2) Form itself is set to accept-charset=utf-8, or does not specify
3) Display page is set to UTF-8
So if you input text 3 times, in 3 languages, and the input page is set for UTF-8, then the display page will display all of them properly on a single page. Any text input _prior_ to the input page being in UTF-8 will still not display correctly...it would appear that the text would have to be either converted before display (some mb_xyz() function?), or would have to be re-entered on a UTF-8 page. Otherwise not backwards compatible.
I don't have the Multi-byte extension compiled in, and have no experience with it, but can any of its functions determine the encoding type of input text? I'm wondering what will happen when I need to support Japanese or something that doesn't fall within UTF-8...what then?
Cheers,
spud.
