Control Page Encoding in Options

    Currently, ww.wp.xz.cn hard codes the page encoding:
    “iso-8859-1”
    in no less than 18 places throughout all of its files (listed at the end of this email). This is not good for those of us who want to use UTF-8 or 2-byte Asian languages (e.g. CJKV)
    Please replace all of these with a single variable like $charset and either put this in one file that we can easily change, the database options, or preferably, included the ability to set this option directly in WordPress’s options.
    I recommend using UTF-8 as the default and resolving any problems such an encoding might create. It is long past time to move past Latin encoding. There is a whole world out there…

    Has it been fixed in CVS yet when running upgrade.php? It gives the following error:
    SQL/DB Error:
    [You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘http://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos8/TextIntlSvcs/TextEncodingConvers’ at line 1]
    INSERT INTO wp_options (option_id, option_name, option_type, option_value, option_description, option_admin_level) VALUES (93, ‘blog_charset’, 3, ‘utf-8’, ‘Your blog’s charset (here’s a list of possible charsets)’, 8)

    Yeah, I think MDV means the fix for the breakage because of your fix (look at your single quotes around the URL – they end the value), not your fix for the previous breakage.
    We need a Tinderbox/Bonsai setup 🙂

    Yup, philor, that was the problem. I modified line 712 in upgrade-functions.php, adding \ before the ‘ around the URL and now it works. 🙂
    I should have stared at the code a little longer, maybe I would have eventually noticed it myself!

    I fixed it (again… I’m sorry about this) an hour ago, but the anonymous CVS is slow to catch updates.

    Sorry to keep nagging about the tiniest things, but install.php needs the same fix escaping those same troublesome quotes around the href.
