Just a quick reply. I don't remember the settings but PHP can automatically convert incoming SJIS form data to EUC for you in a transparent way. (i.e. it translates in coming data into whatever the 'internal encoding' is set to)
Also if I remember correctly if you specify an character encoding of EUC-JP on the web page itself then all form data is sent to you as EUC-JP. The user enters the form data and the browser automatically converts it to to the specified encoding.
That would be great as I agree with you completely that there is a lack of english information on this subject. I'm even worse of than you in that I don't read japanese fluently. Setting up my server and scripts to handle japanese was a task in itself ...Once I get things sorted out, I would be very happy to assist by creating a brief guide in English to setting up PHP to handle Japanese.
Which reminds me ... I posted the very same question you are now a while back (maybe 6 months ago) and got a detailed explanation on some testing to do and the proper settings to use. Hopefully you can still find those posts in this list's archive ...
