Urlencoding is only for urls, not for content.
- Use the iconv_* function to all in UTF-8 to let PHP behave nicely.
- Set the field (or table, or database) in the database to utf-8, run "S=
ET =
names=3D'UTF8'" once on the database connection prior to evry other quer=
y.
- Output a header (either use the default_charset setting in php.ini or =
=
output your own header()) informing the UA everything is in UTF8.
