While I was converting my latin-1 mysql database into utf-8 i came across this article (http://developer.loftdigital.com/blog/php-utf-8-cheatsheet)
please note I have successfully converted my database and my app appears to be working/outputting correctly
It the previously mentioned link it says about installing and using the mbstring extension and functions. This doesn’t appear to be necessary, is this something i should consider, ignore or have to do?
Thanks in advance!
You will (probably) run into problems when using string manipulation functions now that everything is in UTF-8.
You can avoid this if you enable the “mbstring.func_overload” option which will override PHP’s built in functions with Mb_* ones (or replace built in functions with Mb_* functions by hand).
See this page in the PHP manual
