Updated calls to current Smarty API (register_function()/register_modifier()/register_block() -> registerPlugin(); assign_by_ref() -> assignByRef()). Fixed file includes in templates with quotes. Removed SmartyValidate.class.php includes. Still work in progress as some errors still appear!

Charset Encoding {#charset}

Charset Encoding {#charset.encoding}
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
There are a variety of encodings for textual data, ISO-8859-1 (Latin1)
|
|
and UTF-8 being the most popular. Unless specified otherwise with the
|
|
`SMARTY_RESOURCE_CHAR_SET` constant, Smarty recognizes `UTF-8` as the
|
|
internal charset if [Multibyte String](https://www.php.net/mbstring) is
|
|
available, `ISO-8859-1` if not.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
>
|
|
> `ISO-8859-1` has been PHP\'s default internal charset since the
|
|
> beginning. Unicode has been evolving since 1991. Since then it has
|
|
> become the one charset to conquer them all, as it is capable of
|
|
> encoding most of the known characters even accross different character
|
|
> systems (latin, cyrillic, japanese, ...). `UTF-8` is unicode\'s most
|
|
> used encoding, as it allows referencing the thousands of character
|
|
> with the smallest size overhead possible.
|
|
>
|
|
> Since unicode and UTF-8 are very wide spread nowadays, their use is
|
|
> strongly encouraged.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
>
|
|
> Smarty\'s internals and core plugins are truly UTF-8 compatible since
|
|
> Smarty 3.1. To achieve unicode compatibility, the [Multibyte
|
|
> String](https://www.php.net/mbstring) PECL is required. Unless your PHP
|
|
> environment offers this package, Smarty will not be able to offer
|
|
> full-scale UTF-8 compatibility.
