Someone suggests adding codes of procedure for identifying whether the words are in chinese-big-5 code or not before addslashes and other work... If that is a practical method, could someone make this "patch" for us chinese linux php users? If that's not too complicated even for php-developers, could you guys please consider this in your future versions???? Please help!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15683&edit=1
