Re: BUG?: header("location: ") causes GET vars to be encoded in wrong charset in IE5.5

And by the way, please check the NOTE: on http://jp2.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php for the use of header(). Something's missing in the way you used it--perhaps, this is causing the problem... - E <quoted> Note: HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to Location: including the scheme, hostname and absolute path, but some clients accept relative URIs. You can usually use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and dirname() to make an absolute URI from a relative one yourself: header("Location: http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) ."/".$relative_url); </quoted> On Tuesday, September 10, 2002 3:15 PM > Hello, > > On Tuesday, September 10, 2002 1:52 PM > Jean-Christian Imbeault wrote: > > <snip> > > The problem is that the POST variables are coming in EUC-JP (japanese) > > correctly but for some reason IE re-encodes the variable into some other > > charset (SJIS I am guessing) when requesting the new page sent in the > > Header("location: ") ... > </snip> > > I just wonder how do you know that the POST variable are in EUC-JP.
