<para>
The SQLite library may be compiled in either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8
compatible modes. This function allows you to determine which encoding
scheme is used by your version of the library.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
The default PHP distribution builds libsqlite in ISO-8859-1 encoding
mode. However, this is a misnomer; rather than handling ISO-8859-1, it
operates according to your current locale settings for string
comparisons and sort ordering. So, rather than ISO-8859-1, you should
think of it as being '8-bit' instead.
</para>
</warning>
<para>
When compiled with UTF-8 support, sqlite handles encoding and decoding
of UTF-8 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.
</para>
<para>
It is not recommended that you use PHP in a web-server configuration
with a version of the SQLite library compiled with UTF-8 support, since
libsqlite will abort the process if it detects a problem with the
UTF-8 encoding.
