Fix for CURL & SQLite3 under Windows on PHP 7.4

If you have just downloaded and configured PHP 7.4 and you want to use CURL and SQLite3 you could run into a serious PHP-generated error for the reason that both CURL and SQlite3 make use of an external library located in the PHP directory. First SQLite3 was integrated into PHP but from version 7.4 no longer. The errors are these:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'pdo_sqlite'

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'sqlite3'

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_curl'

Python 2.7. Unicode Errors Simply Explained

I know I'm late with this article for about 5 years or so, but people are still using Python 2.x, so this subject is relevant I think.

Some facts first:

Unicode is an international encoding standard for use with different languages and scripts
In python-2.x, there are two types that deal with text.
1. str is an 8-bit string.

unicode is for strings of unicode code points.

This is a collection of code snippets for various features on the STM8S family microcontrollers (specifically the STM8S003F3). These are written against the STM8S/A SPL headers and compiled using SDCC.

Some of this controller's functions aren't particularly intuitive to program, so I'm dumping samples for future reference here. These are based on the STM8S documentation:

	# The short of it is this
	# 1. If you can, always set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8 before you start your python programs.
	# 2. If you can't or you can't ensure this, always use the following lambda _u to get unicode text
	# whereever you convert to strings (str.format, str % etc.)
