RE: [PHP] Encoding type of an input box?

That would depend on the OS, rather than the page encoding type You can enter chinese on an english encoded page, you just need to turn on chinese if using english windows - ie using Chinese Star / NJWin / Richwin / MS IME / your preferred input method / Sunrise (accck) If using Chinese windows - just type. Mac OS - select Chinese... The encoding is just used for display purposes - (and for you to know how to store it gb/big5/...) mediumtext binary works nicely for me to store anything... If you need more info, contact me off list.

Hi folks, Hoping to draw upon someone's slightly more vast knowledge than my own here. Some background. A user wishes to check the availability of a multilingual domain name, they enter the name in, say, GB encoding and select a GB extension. On the next page, I've detected the GB extension and output the appropriate <META> tag for the GB charset encoding. I'm also redisplaying the user's input in an identical form to the previous page. The problem is that the text in the input string is only showing normal rather than GB-encoded characters. Does anyone know how I can change the charset encoding type on an input box...?
