Google in te reo Māori

July 23, 2008 – 10:43 pm

Well almost, it would be great if google translate had te reo Māori options. Despite all the news about how great this is for te reo maori, I can’t actually find any Google application that will do anything in te reo Māori.

Spring MVC

June 27, 2008 – 2:22 pm

We have been looking at this framework for an intranet site… it led to my realisation that Java really made things pretty difficult to display international character sets… but that was an earlier post.
I followed most of the instructions in developing a Spring Framework MVC, though I didn’t create a JDBC based persistence layer. We’ll […]

php-mysql connection charset fix

January 16, 2008 – 2:16 pm

In my earlier post php-mysql connection charset fix, I mentioned I was having issues with enforcing an UTF8 charset. I found the solution:
@$conn = new mysqli(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME);
// or die(mysql_error());
if (!$conn||mysqli_connect_errno())
{
throw new Exception(’Could not connect to database server:’.
mysqli_connect_error());
}
else
{
$conn->query( “SET NAMES ‘utf8′” );
$conn->set_charset(”utf8″);
return $conn;
}

Whizzo now with Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn.. my girlfriend will be happy! And it seems that some of the articles I quoted in my earlier post Portable php-mysql connection charset fix may have held some truth. The solution, eventually had something to do with the following two lines of PHP code.
$conn->query( “SET NAMES ‘utf8′” );
$conn->set_charset(”utf8″);
Which need to be […]
