Hmm... why would you like to do that? I've never really seen the need for that. As there are fields called Last & First Name (Kanji) and Last & First name (Kana) on my forms. Its the need of the application. It would be great, If I could do that. I'm sure there will be a lot of issues if you want to write one yourself... Actually, I have tried to do it, but it wont understand some characters. Like ①. > I have enabled multibyte support while compiling PHP. > > As there is jcode.pl in perl, I want to know if there is > something in PHP. Can anybody help me in this regard. That's a library for character code conversion. PHP can do that as well: http://www.php.net/mbstring - E - __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
