How to set charset to UTF-8 in a Zend application?

Question

I am developping a Zend application. The data in my database is encoded in \"utf8_unicode_ci\". I declared in my application.ini :

resources.view.encoding =          


        

Answer 1

I used to develop ZF application with many languages including RTL ones . and I used to add this to my bootstrap file and I've found it pretty neat .

maybe this not an answer but i think its good suggestion :

public function _initMB(){
 mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
}
