trouble with Chinese words

[php_joe]

Hi,

I'm trying to use PHP to create a link with a chinese word in it that will open an iframe.

The code that I'm using is this:
[code]echo "<a href=\"./rightcard.php?word=$chinese_word\" target=\"iframe\">Link</a>";[/code]

In the source code it looks like this:
[code]<a href="./rightcard.php?word=&#21160;&#29289;" target=\"iframe\">Link</a>[/code]

If it weren't for an iframe it would look like this in the URL bar:
[code]http://test.org/index.php?word=加法[/code]

But when I click on it the word comes up as "??"

I guess I should make myself more clear:

if the link is:
[code]index?face=加法[/code]

and the following page has:
[code]echo "$face";[/code]

Why would it output [b]???[/b]

And is there anyway to get it to output the chinese word?

Thanks!

What is the encoding on the page?

How about

[code]echo htmlentities($face, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');[/code]

Or, replace 'UTF-8' with one of:

BIG5
GB2312
BIG5-HKSCS

that would be because of the language settings on your encoding, as realjumper pointed out.

Thanks everyone, I should have known that...  ::)
