Japanese Encoding

[sniperscope]

hi gurus.

how can i convert japanese text into %E3%83%96%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B0%E6%A4%9C%E7%B4%A2.

in url looks normal japanese characters but if copy entire url and paste into DW all kanji characters change into above. Is this encoding. Because i am doing something which grab records from google search.

So, if i use

$SearchURL = "http://blogsearch.google.co.jp/blogsearch?hl=ja&ie=UTF-8&q=%E9%A2%A8&btnG=%E3%83%96%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B0%E6%A4%9C%E7%B4%A2&lr=lang_ja";

works exact result what i want. But if use

$SearchURL = "http://blogsearch.google.co.jp/blogsearch?hl=ja&ie=UTF-8&q=JapaneseTEXT&btnG=Japanese_Button_Name&lr=lang_ja";

then result appear totally different thing.

 

any idea how to solve this issue.

Use rawurlencode to slove this problem.

Dear mrqpro thanks for advice but it doesn't solve my problem.

if you search something in google with japanese characters google shows correct japanese characters in URL. but if you copy and paste that url, kanji karacters transform into %E3%83 format.

ie; let's say i am searching 日本(which means Japan) and google shows

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=日本&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=dfdf66882bd03aae

in the URL.

bu if you copy and paste that url transform into

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=dfdf66882bd03aae

 

All i want is user input some japanese characters into text area then hit search button, my form search google with cURL. But mentioned problem always shows different result.

So, user input normal japanese character but i want to transform it into  %E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC type format and then run cURL.

 

Hope i could make myself clear.
