I have something to show you. Something very exciting. Sexy, even. "What it is, Rad?" you ask, oozing with curiosity. "A picture of a European supermodel? Lying scantily-clad on the sandy beaches of St. Tropez?"
No, my fellow technoluster. Something far more enticing. And seductive. See » HERE (.. but only if you're 18).
No, your eyes don't deceive you. That's right » a screen-shot from phpMyAdmin showing the tables of a MODx database using the UTF-8 character set and utf8_general_ci collation. Smokin', ain't it?
"But, Rad. I thought you said that was impossible?" It is! .. For mere mortals.
"How did you ever pull it off?" Well, I can tell you that banging my head against the wall produced only limited success. It may've even impeded the process. (I can't remember.)
To be honest, I'm not really sure WHAT the magic-bullet was. Cuz I made a number of changes (including enabling suPHP) .. which I'll tell you all about. I learned a lot. But first, I need to take care of some biz .. and get some coffee. (Was up pretty late last night. Where did I put that Advil?)
I bet you could probably use a cold shower, yourself .. after ogling over that image. (Drool-city.) Supermodels simply can't compete with the sex-appeal of a racy UTF-8 database. Sorry, doll-face.
