function _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().

2 calls to _unicode_check()
unicode_check in includes/unicode.inc
Wrapper around _unicode_check().
unicode_requirements in includes/unicode.inc
Returns Unicode library status and errors.

File

includes/unicode.inc, line 103

    // Ensure translations don't break during installation.
