Summary:  ldapv2 takes utf-8 input only

Original Submission:  when adding contact to the addressbook(LDAP), I do get 
error messages when the contact contains non ASCII characters.  ldapv2 does not 
allow iso8859-1 characters to be stored in the database.

My workaround:
I set the characterset for the Browser using php's header:
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");

now i can type umlauts and anything else and it is converted correctly to utf-8.

I know that this behaviour is not desirable for everybody, but if you use ldap 
for your contacts ...

oh, and you have to recode the translations for your lang.
