How does this work?

Tea_J

-Japanese client fills the form using his japanese keyboard (he ACTUALLY types in japanese)
-PHP stores inputs into database
-PHP retrieves and displays it in japanese (maybe english as well)

how does that work? Does mysql understand japanese? how bout PHP? ANd how the heck can php understand japanese???? i mean... how does this thing work???

Guys, i really need you help. I made this big application for a japanese company.. After all is done, the owner suddenly wants it in japanese! 😡 And he wont pay until i make it japanese.. I converted all the static text's in japanese by making images of em.. but i have no idea how to accept japanese characters for input fields, and how to freakin store them for display in JAPANESE??!! 🙁 im screwed.. please help me out..

I have noticed that when using MySQL, PHP, and PHPmyAdmin, that kanji characters submitted are automatically converted to HTML entities. If course, you could do this explicitly, as well. While these are thus illegible to a reader when you look at the HTML and in the db, they are displayed properly in browsers.

Also, the mbstring library is designed for handling Japanese, and other multi-byte characters. Though it must be explicitly installed with PHP. This page should help.

If you need further assistance, feel free to send me a private message or email.

I wonder if you were able to handle your DB with PMA when the mbstring.dll is running ?
