Hi gang:
From another list, a person posted:
"I want to use PHP's mb_substr() function to grab the first letter of a
UTF-8 encoded word (in Czech) being pulled out of MySQL. If I use the
plain substr()
the data gets garbled and I get a ? symbol in the browser.
My host says
that in order to get multibyte string functions I'd have to compile my own
copy of PHP. That's getting a little deeper than I want to for one function
on one page. Does anyone know what I could do as a workaround?"
I've tried to help, but it appears beyond me.
Anyone have any advice I could pass on?
Thanks.

UTF8_decode() it first
