function _unicode_check

_unicode_check()

Perform checks about Unicode support in PHP, and set the right settings if needed.

Because Drupal needs to be able to handle text in various encodings, we do not support mbstring function overloading. HTTP input/output conversion must be disabled for similar reasons.

Parameters

$errors: Whether to report any fatal errors with form_set_error().

File

includes/unicode.inc, line 103

Provides Unicode-related conversions and operations.
