(PHP Extension) Set Default to utf-8 instead of ANSI

This example shows how to set the default charset (character encoding) to utf-8. By default, strings passed to Chilkat are interpreted as ANSI, and strings returned by Chilkat are ANSI. The Chilkat.Global.DefaultUtf8 property can be set to tell Chilkat that all strings passed in are utf-8, and to return all strings as utf-8.

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// To tell Chilkat to use interpret passed-in strings as utf-8, and to return utf-8,
// simply set the DefaultUtf8 property = true.
// The glob object may be discarded after setting the property.  The setting
// will apply to all existing Chilkat objects, and all Chilkat objects to be created afterwards.
$glob = new CkGlobal();
$glob->put_DefaultUtf8(true);
