Instead of specifically writing string manipulation code that is multibyte-safe, e.g. mb_substr() instead of substr(), you can configure PHP to do this automatically. Just update the following lines in your php.ini.
mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8
mbstring.func_overload = 7
mbstring.strict_detection = On
zend.multibyte = On
zend.script_encoding = UTF-8
mbstring.func_overload will automatically cause any non-multibyte-safe functions to use their multibyte-safe counterparts.
When determining the URL for a web page, you often want to use keywords that accurately describe the page’s content. Sometimes, these keywords aren’t in English and contain accented characters. One thing you can do is choose one URL to be the canonical URL and create a redirect to that URL from another that contains the ascii-equivalent version of the words, e.g.
Canonical: http://www.somedomain.com/nǐhǎo
Redirects:
1. Generated a server certificate and server private key
http://www.selfsignedcertificate.com/
2. Download the files, e.g.
9264078_local.dev.mydomain.com.cert
9264078_local.dev.mydomain.com.key
and put them in your Apache conf folder, e.g. C:Apache24conf

If you’ve installed Apache on Windows and are used to (re)starting the Apache service from a GUI interface, you’ll have a hard time debugging errors in your httpd configuration files, if there are any, since the GUI response will simply say
“The requested operation has failed!”
