You may think that it is both expensive and complicated to have your own local web server.

As for "collation" i recommend to use/choose utf-8_general_ci Since it's worked best for me when looking for information by comparing characters.

Also, this collation works all right for other languages such as Spanish.

@latlov Thanks a lot for the tip. I will give it a shot.

@micah1121 At what point in this video do I touch a PHP setting? I showed how to VIEW them, but you CAN"T EDIT them from that menu.

What extra stuff are you referring to? If you want to run a PHP site, you'll probably need to know how to get at the database. If interacting with a database through a GUI is to complicated, how are you going to write PHP code?
