Hi all,
A client of my company's has put us in a rather bad situation by suddenly deciding he wants to do his new website using Japanese symbol characters. After finally figuring how to get the characters into the webpages (no one at my company knows the language), we've run into a snag trying to get them out of a database. I've set up a test file here with a random sample from his source file: http://www.vs.co.nz/~nznat/test.php
The encoding is set to shift_JIS. The bottom part is a straight paste from his source file and it matches his print out. The top part is the same text taken from a database and it doesn't match. Weird thing is, when I view the database in phpMyAdmin I see the correct English ASCII equivalent characters, and when I save the query page to my computer and alter the encoding the characters show correctly. So what is phpMyAdmin doing that I'm not?
Thanks,
Joel.
