[Phpmyadmin-devel] UTF8 and connection encoding

Hi All, if someone changes connection setting in main.php from UTF-8 to something else, all content from DB will be delivered with this encoding to users Browser, but we say the document is UTF-8 and strings coming from us (language files) are in UTF-8 so we end up with a mixed encoding in the HTML output there are two options: - setting PHP output encoding http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.http.php do not know if this takes care of already mixed encodings - do not allow switching connection charset why is this required anyway? i would vote for dropping, as is see no requirement for this, any modern browser should be UTF-8 capable any comments suggestions? -- Sebastian Mendel
