I've had several problems (in the past and just recently) working with multibyte strings in text files. Sadly there are a lot of editors out there still that don't properly save files as UTF-8. I forget which one, but in my recent batch of OS X IDEs there was one that even tried to save a file I was using to test one of our MultiByte functions with properly, but still managed to butcher it. The display was fine... until I reopened the file and it loaded the butchered copy from disk.
So I've been looking at our PHPUnit tests and wanted to improve and expand the one for the MultiByte class. We've got several test strings saved in the file and I was curious what kind of "best practice" there might be for these. Should we be saving them as-is in the file and risking editor corruption (even if it's unlikely), or should we be escaping them into some more portable format? Maybe numeric entities? -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev
