Zend_Db ignore default charset of Mysql

While I set my Mysql database default character set as UTF-8, Zend_Db_Adapter does not pick up the setting. Zend_Db write to Mysql using its own default character set (I guess it’s ISO-8859-1), unless it is specifically told by $dbAdapter->query(“SET NAMES ‘utf8′”); before Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter($dbAdapter);

Bank of China

中国银行的网站终于改进了一下。以前外汇牌价网页在非中文平台上总显示乱码,现在用上了utf-8,这才有点像个”中国银行-全球门户网站”

Where to Set $xoops_charset

I prefer UTF-8, always. I am sorry to see Xoops new release is by default still ISO-8859-1 encoded. Unfortunately, Xoops have not provided a complete reference book for all smarty tags. I struggled to change the charset. First, I looked at theme.html, and found it is <meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html; charset=<{$xoops_charset}>” /> instread of <meta http-equiv=”content-type”… Continue reading Where to Set $xoops_charset

联通消失了

先跟我做个实验:如果你用的是中文windows,运行记事本,输入“联通”两个字不要带引号,任取文件名保存,再打开,你会发现联通消失了,留下一个小方块。 拿这个例子来解释utf-8真是形象生动——因为记事本保存一份新建文档时的默认编码为ANSI,中文windows下就是GB2312,“联通”按GB2312保存为4个字节,头三个字节凑巧为utf-8编码文档开头的特征码byte order mark(BOM),所以记事本再次打开这个文件时,认定该文档是经utf-8编码,于是直接显示了第4个字节,那就是个小方块。 我不是第一个做这个实验的人,不过我跟开这个玩笑的人有着同样的感觉:联通确实不是个好名字,永远不能起头,所以永远被移动压着打。 如果非要联通起头后而不变成小方块,那么选择文档保存编码为非ANSI,可是大部分人不知道。

Thunderbird确实好

我是一个很懒的人,thunderbird出名已经很久了,我仍然stick to outlook or outlook express。本来也是,不就收发一下邮件嘛,用哪个软件有很大区别吗?今天由于其他方面的原因,我不得不下载thunderbird用了一下,当然它没有惊天动地打动我的地方,但它的utf8已经走到microsoft前面了,outlook/express在英文windows下总是处理不好中文主题或发件人(outlook处理不好中文发件人,而outlook express处理不好中文主题)。别看平时我也能忍受着阅读??????布满问号的邮件,但既然看到thunderbird做得这么好,那我决定更多地支持一下开源产品啦。
