I Have no problem using PHP with ISO-8859-1 characters. I use a lot of Danish
characters.
What part of your PHP script generates that error ? Is it your database ?

Right. I use EUC-JP, UTF-8 without any problems.
I guess poster's php script has something like
if (!eregi("^[a-z]+$", $name)) {
print_error("You entered wrong name");

Hello, I am writing software which uses MySQL as a
backend. I need to accept Arabic form input, store it
in MySQL, and use it later. I don't believe MySQL
supports Unicode except in BLOB column types, so I
want to convert it to NCR (numeric character html
entities). After looking at iconv() and recode(), I
think I need to use mb_encode_numericentity(). Some
questions:
1) Does that sound right? Accept Arabic form input and
then use mb_encode_numericentity() to convert it to
html character entities and then store in db?
2) Does anyone know where I can get a conversion map
for Arabic text? I'm still not sure what the encoding
is used by browsers to submit Arabic, iso-8859-6 I am
assuming.
3) Any other words of advice? :)
Thank you for any help! I have spent a lot of time
poring over manuals and technical papers to learn this
i18n stuff but I am stuck with the best way to
implement this in a web application I need to finish
(a non-commercial web project). Thank you!
