Yup, good advise.
Additionally: Make sure you set per column with a language the right
character encodingscheme fit for that language.
And send back the right headers in ALL your responses to the client.
So your PHP scripts must overrule the default charset set in php.ini.

If you only use languages that have the same characterset/coding, don't
worry. ;-)
