Hi,

Does Dadabik support utf-8 MySQL Table Data and Form input? If not, is it possible to change it? I think I should just have to add "accept-charset" to the forms, do I? Or can you tell me about any other solution that supports utf-8 database content editing, whether commercial or not?

There is a modified version of DaDaBik that has XHTML and UTF-8 support for table and form data. However, I have not tested it well with text searches and filenames.

Setting the charset in HTML 'head' (below) or HTTP headers may be okay.
[pre]
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" value="text/html; charset=utf-8">
[/pre]
But you may also need to change the encodings of the php, etc., files of DaDaBik from Latin OR Western to UTF-8 (you will need a code editor such as BBEdit, BabelPad, etc.).

Because of the way PHP handles characters, certain issues still may arise. See this excellent article.



(UTF-8 support in MySQL is available for versions 4.1+ only).
