| | |
| == Intro ==
| |
| | |
| If you see strange characters in your application, like 'This is � special char', you probably use a non-utf8 charset. In this howto I will explain how to make a project with UTF-8 support.
| |
| | |
| == 3 simple steps ==
| |
| === Database ===
| |
| Make sure you create your database with 'MySQL connection collation:' set to ''''utf8_unicode_ci'''', so each table has this collation type.
| |
| | |
| === config.inc.php ===
| |
| Add the following code to your config.inc.php:
| |
| $config_db["default"]["charset"] = "utf8";
| |
| $config_default_charset = "utf-8";
| |
| | |
| === module_preload.inc ===
| |
| For each language you use, you'll have to set the 'charset' in the corresponing languagefile in atk/languages. Since it is not possible to commit these languagefiles in your project, you can solve this as follows:
| |
| | |
| Add this code to a module_preload.inc to override the 'charset' in your languagefile:
| |
| $lang = atkinstance("atk.atklanguage");
| |
| $lang->setText("charset", "utf-8", "en");
| |
| $lang->setText("charset", "utf-8", "nl");
| |
| | |
| The module_preload.inc is always loaded, to these settings will apply to the complete application.
| |
| | |
| == Checking ==
| |
| After reloading your website, you should see the ''Unicode (UTF-8)'' option selected (in firefox: View > Character Encoding).
