There could be various ways to handle this but here are some: 1. Try using a different encoding. Like utf-8 or some other Chinese encoding. (In Japanese, you can use euc instead of sjis.) 2. Creating your own addslashes function for "escaping". These are basically from the Japanese ML: (It's, of course, in Japanese.) http://ns1.php.gr.jp/pipermail/php-users/2001-August/001641.html By the way Samuel, there's a patched version of php that I've mention here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=103781121614978&w=2 The patched version corrected some problems having to do with multi-byte strings so it might just work for Chinese as well. There were also some other info in the site I mentioned above but I'm afraid they're all in Japanese so... Anyway, I justed to post some ideas that might help. Also, please make sure to check the manual about multibyte strings-- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php - E
