NYCPHP Meetup

[Mark Jia]

I wrote my opnion before, but I think it lost in the talk at nyphp.org. I use oracle as the backend dabase,  but charset has to be set to utf8 when you create a databse, you can use this charset for all languages in oracle. There are two ways to process mitiple languages in php, one is you have two sest of codes put into two different directories. another is you can use a very very long arrary to hold all languages, then print them out depened on the "locale" variable.

it in the language. I used mysql as the database backend, and used vlib
template to generate all my pages. Unicode text would pass through all of
these unharmed, and you could even do searches containing unicode
characters. Using a template system like vlib template, creating versions
of the site for different languages is as simple as using a different
template file. Just make sure you put a tag in the head section of the HTML
template to set the encoding appropriately, and use some GET or session
variable to specify the language.

Depending on what level of internationalization support you need, this may
be enough. You can get data in and out regardless of encoding so long as
you maintain consistent throughout.
