utf8 - apache - mysql - php

Hi everybody!


I have to write a web page with a multi language support (East -
Europe). I am using a classical and old web configuration: MySQL
3.2.3.56, PHP 4.1.2, Apache 1.3.27 (It is a free webserver, so there
are not the last version of these applicatin).

I hopped, if I configure every these applications to use utf8
codepage, it will be working. Unfortunatelly if I get the data from
the database, there are more unreadable characters on the webpage.

Can anyobody give me the correct setting of these applications to use
the utf8 codepage? I found that, that I can give the characterset in
the description of the content on the web page (html), php.ini (Php),
httpd.conf (Apache), and mysql.conf (MySQL). In MySQL I can give the
charset at the database server (default_characterset) and at the
actually databank (connect_characterset, client_charset) too.

It is important, that what kind of font type I am using in the styel
sheet (css)?


Thanks for your's help!
