libs/converter.php quick question (easy one I think)
« on: January 27, 2010, 07:33:39 PM »
What is the purpose of the libs/converter.php file other than to go back and forth from utf-8 to windows code? I'm trying to make a heavy modification of the server and not sure if I should mess with the file or not.  What, exactly does it do?

This table is used for cyrillic languages when system iconv doesn't work. It can be used to read ru/ua properties file.

There are five areas where text can be encoded differently: mibew ($webim_encoding), database ($dbencoding), localization files (first line of properties file), output html page (getoutputenc()), email ($mail_encoding).

In the simplest case we use utf-8 everywhere (don't need iconv).
