My first thought was that your meta tag might be over-ridden by your web server's charset (like the AddDefaultCharset directive of Apache)... but if normal HTML pages are ok that's not it. > Ive tried all the different collation types in my database and still > no luck. The database collation and charset (in MySQL, --character-set-server=???) can be different. But rather than relying on the server setting, you can specify the charset on a table by table (or even column) basis and specify sjis there in the "belt and suspenders" mentality. > Ive never done any foreign language sites before this is really new to > me can anyone please help? I'd be inclined to use UTF-8 rather than Shift_JIS for a new site unless you are targeting old browsers or already have lots of Shift_JIS encoded content. -- Jim Tittsler http://www.OnJapan.net/ GPG: 0x01159DB6 Python Starship http://Starship.Python.net/crew/jwt/ Mailman IRC irc://irc.freenode.net/#mailman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
