Re: Particular Problem Kanji

I will get the url and post it as all the lit. I've seen in English says exactly
what you have said.

As far as I know MySQL deals with Japanese using sjis & ujis character sets with
ujis being equivalent to euc-jp. [If anyone knows any different please feel free to
correct this!] Having read, which you also confirm that the internal encoding of php
should be the same as whatever the database is I have tried setting both the server
encoding (via webDav - i've never encountered this one before either) to euc-jp and
php's internal encoding to euc-jp with pages encoded as shift_jis and
mbstring.http_output as shift_jis..... which gives me mojibake with all the japanese
text on the pages and coming from the db.

I think there must be something here that I am missing or there is something with
this webDav ...?!

Cheers,
Claire
