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?
