php returns japenesse characters

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

Sounds like a problem with the character set definition in your 'results' page. View the source (html) in a browser to check that.

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]
