Well, I've had that problem with one of my clients (a chinese company) and the only way I could fix it was by changing the default php.ini charset (UTF-8) to gb2312. I'm not experienced in programming using/for these oriental charsets. That's why I strongly believe there might be some other change besides changing php.ini (like if I had shared hosting, for other people charsets). Of course your case is more specific since it changed from working to not working. Regards, -- Eduardo Bacchi Kienetz http://www.noticiaslinux.com.br/eduardo/
