When I enter some japanese into the form your program says: "The encoding of variable test when it was received by the script was: SJIS (should be EUC-JP when Japanese has been entered in the form field)" As you can see the encoding should have been EUC-JP but was in fact SJIS. So the user input was not automatically translated into the internal encoding ... Even worse ... the user input become mojibake (garbage). The input become ?????> and because of the ">" ruins the html code! Yuck. So the problem seems to be that the user input is received as SJIS (the original user encoding) and not converted automatically to the internal encoding (so what is the point of having an internal encoding?) If I try and output the value of "$test" back to the browser it comes out as garbage and if I try mb_convert_encoding($test, "SJIS") it still comes out as garbage. My browser is set to display SJIS (possibly forced because of the "nihongo" string you output at the beginning of the script) so I don't understand why I can't output $test straight back to the browser since it comes in as SJIS, or why I can't display it even after conversion! Any help and clarifications are greatly appreciated! I've include my modifications of your code ... Jc PS Here are my settings, they are just like yours except that I don't have (can't find) a setting for function overloading. Multibyte (Japanese) Support enabled output_buffering: 1 output_handler: mb_output_handler mbstring.detect_order: auto mbstring.func_overload: 0 mbstring.http_input: auto mbstring.http_output: SJIS mbstring.internal_encoding: EUC-JP mbstring.substitute_character: no value
