Re: dealing with curly quotes
Thanks. So now that I've got everything configured correctly, I shouldn't
have to worry about curly quotes because Cake will convert them to straight
for me? No string manipulation needed inside of my app?

Re: dealing with curly quotes
class DATABASE_CONFIG {
var $default = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
...
'encoding' => 'utf8'
);
}
I forget to put that in on a regular basis and it always costs my a
few minutes of debugging. ;-)
Not sure why it's not in the default template.

Re: dealing with curly quotes
Hey Adam, thanks. Here's how I'm setup:
core.php
Configure::write('App.encoding', 'UTF-8')
database.php
(I don't see a place to specify UTF-8)
MySQL
utf8_general_ci
default.ctp (head section)
charset('UTF-8') ?>
Am I missing anything?
When you say to make sure all of my code is utf8 compliant (eg string
conversions), what do you mean? Can you be more specific?
I think users of my site are entering curly quotes, which are saved to
the db, then come out as garbage when displayed in HTML.

Re: dealing with curly quotes
If your database is correctly setup as utf8, cakephp db settings as utf8 and your html is output as utf8, and make sure all of your code is utf8 compliant (eg string conversion, etc) then you shouldn't have any issues. Unless you just don't like the look of curly quotes?

dealing with curly quotes
I'm using a UTF-8 character set and the curly single and double quotes are causing some problems with my app. I have a couple of questions regarding the best way to deal with (eliminate) them: Allow the curly quotes to go into the database, but convert them to straight quotes before display? Or convert them into straight quotes before going into the database? And beyond that fundamental issue, what is the best way to convert from curly to straight? I've dealt with similar issues in some of my non-Cake PHP applications and am wondering if Cake has any built-in functionality for dealing.
