doubledee Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 What Collation should I choose for MySQL if I live in the U.S. and don't really plan on International Customers? I thought you were supposed to use UTF-8?? phpMyAdmin has "latin1_swedish_ci" Debbie Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/253779-what-collation-should-i-use/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I thought you were supposed to use UTF-8?? If you plan on taking advantage of internationalisation.

trq Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 It's up to you. However, you did say you "don't really plan on International Customers".

doubledee Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 It's up to you. However, you did say you "don't really plan on International Customers". I figure it is better to be safe than sorry, but I don't really even know what "internationalization" means or entails?! Would I choose "utf8_bin" or "utf8_swedish_ci" ??

fenway Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 utf8_general_ci is pretty "general". Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/253779-what-collation-should-i-use/#findComment-1301142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
