srtolower function problem
Hi to all.
I'am from Russia, so I must use unicode UTF8. But there is one big problem - strtolower PHP function does not understands unicode. That is why, for exapmle, search.php not works with russian keywords (because BreakKeywords function in Vanilla uses strtolower function).
There is mb_strtolower since PHP 4.3 version, witch works with multi byte strings. But it is not build-in fuction and it's avaliable only as extention (php_mbstring.dll).
There is one way to solve this problem "transparently".
Somewhere in begin of initialising Vanilla core write:
And after that change "strtolower" to 'mb_strtolower' at every place in Vanilla code.
In case if PHP has php_mbstring.dll - Vanilla will works correctly with unicode strings. Another case - will use strtolower function.
P.S. Thanks for Vanilla!
