Hello Guus,

Actually, we are using the same method here on http://oire.org/. We
have all of the language files in UTF8 format and everything seems to
be OK. Yes, unicode support in PHp laisse à désirer, like the French
say, but it does support UTF8 files.

Subject: [PHP] Convert UTF-8 to PHP defines

We use PHP defines for defining text in different languages. As far as I 
know PHP files are supposed to be ASCII, not UTF-8 or something like that. 
What I want to make is a conversion program that would convert a given UTF-8 
file with the format

definetext1=this is a text in random UTF-8, probably arabic or similar text
definetext2=this is another text in random UTF-8, probably arabic or similar 
text

into a file with the following defines

define('definetext1',chr(<t_value>).chr(<h_value>).chr(<i_value>)...<chr(<x_value>).chr(<t_value>));
define('definetext2,chr(<t_value>).chr(<h_value>).chr(<i_value>)...<chr(<x_value>).chr(<t_value>));

Not sure if I'm using the correct chr/ord function, but I hope the above is 
clear enough to make clear what I'm looking for. Basically the output file 
should be ascii and not contain any utf-8.

Any advise? The html_special_chars did not seem to work for Vietnamese text 
I tried to convert, so something seems to get wrong with just reading an 
array of strings and converting the strings and putting them in defines.
