The SQLite library may be compiled in either <em>ISO-8859-1</em>
or <em>UTF-8</em> compatible modes. This function allows you to
determine which encoding scheme is used by your version of the library.
</p>
<div class="warning"><strong class="warning">Warning</strong>
<p class="para">
The default PHP distribution builds <var class="filename">libsqlite</var> in
<em>ISO-8859-1</em> encoding
mode. However, this is a misnomer; rather than handling
<em>ISO-8859-1</em>, it operates according to your current
locale settings for string comparisons and sort ordering. So, rather
than <em>ISO-8859-1</em>, you should think of it as being
'<em>8-bit</em>' instead.
</p>
</div>
<p class="para">
When compiled with <em>UTF-8</em> support, sqlite handles encoding and decoding
of <em>UTF-8</em> multi-byte character sequences, but does not yet do a complete
job when working with the data (no normalization is performed for
example), and some comparison operations may still not be carried out
correctly.
</p>
<div class="warning"><strong class="warning">Warning</strong>
<p class="para">
It is not recommended that you use PHP in a web-server configuration
with a version of the SQLite library compiled with <em>UTF-8</em> support, since
<var class="filename">libsqlite</var> will abort the process if it detects a problem with the
<em>UTF-8</em> encoding.
