Hi All,

ok, I've taken a look at php.ini and found this,

[mbstring]
; language for internal character representation.
;mbstring.language = Japanese

; internal/script encoding.
; Some encoding cannot work as internal encoding.
; (e.g. SJIS, BIG5, ISO-2022-*)
;mbstring.internal_encoding = EUC-JP

; http input encoding.
;mbstring.http_input = auto

; http output encoding. mb_output_handler must be
; registered as output buffer to function
;mbstring.http_output = SJIS

DoI change to,

mbstring.http_output = SJIS

and what of this here,

;extension=php_ldap.dll
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
;extension=php_mcrypt.dll

change to,

extension=php_mbstring.dll

This page,

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php

says this,

mbstring is a non-default extension. This means it is not enabled by 
default. You must explicitly enable the module with the configure 
option. See the Install <http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.php> 
section for details.

I didn't install any extensions at install, so, am I looking at a 
recompile to get Japanese in php..? Sorry for what may seem like mundane 
Qs. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
