[Phpmyadmin-devel] Matching accented characters in PHP ?

[Robin Johnson]

Hi list,

>From a bug report that was just made about the parser:
SELECT sum(dureé) FROM files;

My parser fails on the é in the query, as I hadn't treated it as a valid
character before now, but re-reading the docs on MySQL column names, as
long as the name is valid in your filesystem, it will be accepted by
MySQL.

This means I need a way to match all accented characers to check for them
in an SQL identifier.

I put together a simple function that I thought should work, but it was
for the windows character range, not iso-8559-1.

Could somebody fix my PMA_STR_isAccented in libraries/string.lib.php3?
I am also wondering if the character set that MySQL is using needs to be
known to use the correct characters for matching accented stuff ?

Could our character set people enlighten me on this please?
