new to intenationalization programming

Hi I am just starting a project that will have to handle English, Japanese
and Korean characters.  I have never programmed for an international group
before and am unsure how to begin.  I will be using a HTML(UTF8)/PHP front
end with a MySQL DB in the back.  I have read over the information about
multi-byte string functions for PHP on PHP.net and still am very confused
about what I have to do to start using these functions.  Also I am confused
about what (if anything) I have to do with the MySQL DB.  This seems to be
the only place to go to ask questions.  I'm sorry if I ask silly or stupid
questions in the future and ask for your patience.

Can anyone tell me where to go to get information, possibly view code
snippets, or a forum I could join.  Where is a good place to start?
