Re: Japanese katakana "SO" in SJIS gives problems.

Hi,

Turning off magic_quotes_gpc in your php.ini will fix that problem.
When doing this, be sure to escape any incoming strings that will be
get through to the database as SQL with a function provided by the
extension with which you actually make connection to the database
(e.g. mysql_real_escape_string() or pg_escape_string()) instead of
addslashes(), whose usage is by no means recommended when it comes
to multibyte string. Please refer to the archive for detailed
information about SJIS weirdness, as I already posted something to
the thread of a relevant topic.
