The encoding of text files in my PHP project were inconsistent. So I decided to make everything UTF-8.
At this time I plan to limit characters to English. Should I convert my Mysql database to UTF-8 or can I postpone it until I need more than English?
It appears to me that if my database is UTF-8 that I will need to use mb_(multi byte) prefexed functions, example mb_strpos and use the /u option on my regular expresions. Am I missing anything?
Thanks
