Topic: UTF-8 Encoding

I know, search first...I have, and I still can't find a simple way to make my forum run on utf-8 encoding.  I figured it was done by modifying the charset in headers, but, as there's just a bunch of php files...I don't know where to start.

I'm running punbb version 1.2.1 with MySQL version 4.something, if that helps.

Thanks guys, sorry to bust such a n00b question onto you all.

James.

Re: UTF-8 Encoding

I think the question is your Mysql version, please check it again.

Re: UTF-8 Encoding

The first thing to do would be to change lang_encoding in your language pack's common.php file. Beware though that PunBB has no "official" support for UTF-8. There are still some things that would need dealing with in order to support it properly.
