David, Thanks for that. Works just fine now. You're right Dreamweaver has an issue with hiding the information even though it is set under Edit >> Preferences to create documents in UTF-8. For some sort of reason it changes the Encoding to SHIFT_JIS still, but after manually changing the PHP files to UTF-8 and uploading it again it seems to work fine.
Thanks again for everyone's help. I still say it's the file encoding of your .php file(s). Double check it in another editor that clearly shows the encoding. Dreamweaver in my experience tends to hide it (no idea about CS3 though). I'd say BBEdit or TextMate on OS X, can't help with Win/Lin. 宜しく, Dav On Oct 6, 11:06 pm, exo_duz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > sdozono: > > The following head tag was taken from docomo.jp: > <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="ja" xml:lang="ja"> > <head> > <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> > > The following head tag was taken from softbank.jp > <html lang="ja" xml:lang="ja" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> > <head> > <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; > charset=Shift_JIS" /> > > Maybe I have to set the language in the HTML tags as well. > > Might try it tomorrow and see what happens. > > On Oct 6, 10:57 pm, exo_duz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > sdozono: > > > That's interesting.
