iso-8859-15 (was Re: [Phpwiki-talk] patches 496662, 496654, 496158 completed)

Hi,

Oh, just no time to look at that patch yet. :-)

I know nothing about iso-8859-15, and want to answer for myself some=20
questions about it. Also I would want to make sure that nothing else =
will=20
be affected by changing to iso-8859-15. (Also see=20
<http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/Utf8Migration>.)

Questions like:
- What are all the differences between iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-15?
- Which browser software, versions, and operating systems know about=20
iso-8859-15, and which don't?
- Do we need to change all the source code files to iso-8859-15?
- What needs to be investigated to make sure PHP works with iso-8859-15?
- Does PHP need to be compiled in a special way to understand =
iso-8859-15?
- Do all the databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mini SQL etc.) work with the=20=

euro symbol or should it be converted to &euro; or &#8364;?
- Will any code in WikiNameRegExp need to be updated? (The code which=20
allows accented letters to be used in BumpyWords)
- If not all browsers work with iso-8859-15, will it be sufficient to =
use=20
&euro; and/or &#8364;?
