socal_0351 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 hi,i have a website hosted by earthlink. im able to use php 5+ and 4+. my problem is that i have a form that posts to my php script, lets call it "proccess.php5" (earthlink requires the ext of php5 or php4). now the problem is that all my results(at least i think they are) are returned in what appears to be japenesse characters. i've never seen this before. but if i directly access "process.php5", i can view it in english. ummm, yah, i have no idea whats going on. does anyone know anything about this. this is something i would like to fix, obviously.any suggestions would be appreciated.thank you Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/11696-php-returns-japenesse-characters/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Sounds like a problem with the character set definition in your 'results' page. View the source (html) in a browser to check that.

poirot Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 It may be an encoding problem, try to use the header() function or meta tags and set the correct encoding:[a href=\"http://www.php.net/header\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.php.net/header[/a][code]<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/11696-php-returns-japenesse-characters/#findComment-44497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
