elmas156 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Ok, I'm probably going to sound ignorant here, which I am on this subject, but I need to figure this out. What is the collation and how would I know which is the best to use for my application? What I'm creating is a messaging system, very similar to email, but it will only be capable of sending and receiving messages to and from other users of the system. Much like the myspace and facebook messaging systems. Can someone please explain and help me to understand? Thanks for any help.

elmas156 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Sorry, I had some things come up and I have been out of the loop for a few days. I'll be storing English and maybe some Spanish. Thanks. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/214218-collation/#findComment-1116390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Then you can probably get away with latin1, which has support for those characters, too. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/214218-collation/#findComment-1117155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmas156 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Thanks, I've been using latin1_general_ci I just wasn't sure if I was using the correct one. Thanks again.
