Hi,
Kakasi extension is available in PECL.
http://cvs.php.net/pecl
If you are using one of *nix-like OS's (Linux, FreeBSD, and whatsoever),
You can fetch it with the following command:
(In contrast to the standard modules like APC, this module cannot be
installed via "pear" command.)
$ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/repository co pecl/kakasi
$ cd pecl/kakashi
$ phpize
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
- SYNOPSIS -
<?php
// string kakasi(string input, array options)
// This function may accept the same options as the command line.
$result = kakasi("some japanese text in EUC-JP", array("-JH", "-KH"));
?>
BTW I'm not the author of this extension, so I don't seem to be the right
person to ask further questions :)
Anyway, hope this helps.
Moriyoshi

Okay, I've been reading whatever documentation I can find on this subject
and I feel hopelessly lost. Here is what I am trying to do:
- I have a string containing a Japanese phrase. mb_detect_encoding()
reports it as SJIS.
- I want to display this string in HTML without changing the encoding type
(ISO-8859-1).
- In order to accomplish this, I would like to encode the text as Unicode
values. I have seen a nice example of this in action here:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4 so I know that
it is possible.
Question: How??? I'm probably just dim, but I've tried a number of
different methods and have drawn a complete blank.
Help!
