====== UTF-8 ====== To have full UTF-8 support you need to edit the includes/classes/database/mysql.php file and add the following code: $this->query("set names utf8"); This line goes at the end of the connectToDb function. Please note that after you make this change any thing entered into the database will have to be re-entered. Another change that may need to be made is to add the following line to the connections/classifieds.php file: ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8'); And finally in the language file add: setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE.UTF8'); Replace the de_DE with your locale setting.
