Re: Encoding Japanese characters.

Thanks for the tip.  I took a look at this but I finally managed to figure
out how to do this in PHP natively.

Just in case folks are interested:

if (mb_detect_encoding($japanese_string)=="SJIS") {
    $convmap = array(0x0000, 0xffff, 0, 0xffff);
    $str = mb_encode_numericentity($japanese_string, $convmap,
mb_detect_encoding($japanese_string));
    print $str;  // print encoded string
  }
