If you don't want to toast your server, you will have to recompile your php install one more time. Enable recode or iconv support. Recode support is preferred one, but it might conflict with other php extensions. Japanese translation is designed to deal with all commonly used Japanese character sets. It was written when SquirrelMail had limited foreign character set support and character set conversion is done in functions specific to Japanese translation. Download extra decoding functions from http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/squirrelmail/decode/eastasia/ and copy them to squirrelmail functions/decode directory. Please note that iso-2022-xx decoding depends on iso_2022_support.php. These decoding functions are experimental. Some parts of iso-2022-xx decoding are not finished. Functions are implemented in recode and iconv+mbstring functions. php 4.3+ allows to use html-entities character set in mbstring extension, but I have information that conversion is buggy. Fallback functions are implemented in standard php functions and pcre extension. They follow character set mapping information published by Unicode Consortium and are not optimized for intensive use. They are disabled by default, if recode or iconv support is missing and $aggressive_decoding configuration variable is not set to true. If you need other character set or some character set decoding is not working correctly - name needed character set or provide feedback about existing decode function. It is possible that decode functions will be released as separate package by the end of this year. I think they are stable enough, but I don't understand a word in Japanese. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
