ÆON Movie Wall / Eversion for Oversight - Beta Version - Released

[vaidyasr]

The below is the explanation.
The data stored in oversight db is utf8_encoded. So I don't needed to decode and write a XML. Simply fetching from index.db/people.db and writing XML files. There was no string handling functions involved. That's why the directory/people/plot is working fine. For Title, I need to write the category xml by finding the first alphabet of the movie title, so that I can list them on categories.xml. For that I need extract the 1st character of the title only for Movie Title and not other fields. That's why there was no error on others. It works for characters in english, french but not for russion. For someone who had their Movie name in their native language, should need mb_str functions to cut the first the letter.

The simple reason is for english character each character is single byte, so substr function will work. For others it is multi-byte, so only mbstr will work. It is still possible to use substr with non-english characters, but extracting 1st character will give junk output.
