UTF-8 standard

I wondered if PHP allowed for Unicode character sets (such as by using
the UTF-8 standard)?

Quick answer: Yes

Longer Answer: Yes but you have to be a little careful as not all parts
and extensions of php support UTF-8 encoding, or require you to specify
UTF-8. PHP itself can be set to use UTF-8 for its output, obviously the
headers of your page need to be set appropriately.

RE: UTF-8 standard

Would this also require changes to the MSDE tables/fields or global
settings?

We are planning on selling our product into the international markets.
The GUIs of our applications would not change but they would like for
whatever the users type to be in their native language using the
appropriate Unicode character set.=20

Do we have a rough estimate of how much time it might take to make all
of these changes in PHP and MSDE?

The PHP changes are to the configuration file and to however you
provide the encoding to the headers (presumably an included file or part
of a class), so should be simple.

I have no familiarity with MSDE, so cannot comment on what would be
required with it.
