Re[2]: [PHP] Japanese with UTF-8 and mysql

Hello Mark, Thursday, June 2, 2005, 4:18:30 AM, you wrote: MS> <?php MS> session_start(); MS> include("database.php"); ?>> I would recommend setting UTF-8 as the Content-type via PHP itself: header('Content-type: UTF-8') - do it as one of the first things when you're ready to output the HTML. MS> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" MS> MS> "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> This may well be a cause of the problem - your HTML doesn't look like it's XTHML Strict compatible at all, so browsers are going to re-render it (IE into Quirks mode). I would remove the DocType for now or fix the mark-up errors. MS> <?php MS> if (isset($_REQUEST[product_id])) { MS> $product_id = $_REQUEST[product_id]; See the previous reply about why this isn't safe, but also it should be: $_REQUEST['product_id'] (note the quotes) to avoid PHP scanning for constants.

Let's check a few obvious things: does PHP have the mb extension installed? If so what is the default character-set in php.ini?
