Domain registrations and ... greek characters.

[the_island]

Hi there,

 

i am a newbie here, and trying to setup and configure whmcs...

 

I will need everything to work correctly in Greek. I have managed to make both iso-8859-7 and utf-8 to work, BUT before finalizing it, I have 2 questions:

 

1. Which encoding should I use, so that Greek characters can be used by my clients to register .gr domains ? Which enconding does the Greek registrar accept ?

 

2. How about international registrars ? Which one accepts the suggested encoding (Enom ?, Directi ?) ?

 

Thanks a lot !

By the way, special thanks to Sigmaweb for offering the translation. I 'll try to update it, and post it here ...

If you use eppgr for registering .gr domains, they have a php

function to encode from iso-8859-7 to utf8.

ICS is only accepting UTF-8.

 

If you make a custom module dont forget to visit php.net

to see the exact command (iconv I think) to convert

iso to UTF.

 

Same with Directi, you can send Greek Chars with UTF-8.

Thank you chrismfz !

So, it's better to stick to utf-8... Seems to be compatible with anyone...

 

My next question is:

Are there any modules that will allow me to communicate with

1. ITE for domain registrations

2. some Greek bank for payments

 

I respect any developer's work, and I am willing to purchase the module(s) if it is a commercial one (ok it depends on the price ).

 

Thank you
