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?

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.

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)
?php echo $html-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.

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.
Thanks!
