Re: Unicode internationalization problem with e-commerce site

First off, the 4.0.x versions of MySQL are not capable of
handling UTF-8 (Actually it can store such strings though). It'd be 
better
to use some legacy encoding instead.

And, it's worth a try to see if the automatic encoding conversion 
function
of the mbstring extension is enabled (if output_handler is set to 
"mb_output_handler")
in your php.ini and turn it off if that's the case.

Also check the value of default_charset setting in the php.ini

> AddDefaultCharset off
> AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

This apache setting is irrelevant to PHP generated output.
