Problesm with japanese filenames

I'm not sure if anyone here can help but I sure hope so ... I have installed Samba on a RH Linux 7.1 machine. Our office uses japanese windows machines to put files on the samba server. These files have japanese ilenames. I also have PHP 4 installed on the same Linux machine. I have been successful at having PHP get a listing of the directory names to a web page. The dir names come out in japanese just fine. The problem I have is that I then try and link those dir names to an indes.php file in the dir (having a <A HREF="dirname/index.php"> tag). Eventhough the dir name comes out fine on the web browser it is actually mangled in the source HTML that PHP creates. (i.e. I have somethign like this: <A HREF="ƒfƒBƒYƒj[ƒ‰ƒ“ƒh/index.php"> ƒfƒBƒYƒj[ƒ‰ƒ“ƒh </A> And when I click on the link I get: http://10.2.100.85/intranet/HR/????????/index.php (actually the ??????? is not really "?"'s but the proper japanese characters for the dir name. My emailer doesn't support japanese it seems). Does anyone have any ideas how I can get my links to work? Thanks!
