speciesbeing Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hello! I want to ask you one quick question. What is the database equivalent of ISO-8859-5 ? Here are some examples with their equivalents: // Chinese-traditional. 'big5' => 'big5', // Chinese-simplified. 'gbk' => 'gbk', // West European. 'ISO-8859-1' => 'latin1', // Romanian. 'ISO-8859-2' => 'latin2', // Turkish. 'ISO-8859-9' => 'latin5', // Thai. 'tis-620' => 'tis620', // Persian, Chinese, etc. 'UTF-8' => 'utf8', // Russian. 'windows-1251' => 'cp1251', // Greek. 'windows-1253' => 'utf8', // Hebrew. 'windows-1255' => 'utf8', // Arabic. 'windows-1256' => 'cp1256', Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speciesbeing Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 So the database equivalent of ISO-8859-5 is ISO88595 ? In my case it will be: // Macedonian. 'ISO-8859-5' => 'ISO88595', right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speciesbeing Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 why? My encoding is ISO-8859-5, so I need the database equivalent, so later I can convert the symbols into UTF-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
