Hello Dennis, Here is what I did. 1. Recompile php using the src rpm provided with Red Hat (rpmbuild) using the following configure --with-pgsql --without-mysql --enable-mbstring --with-apxs2 make make install 2. Snipptets of phpinfo(): Configure Command './configure' '--with-pgsql' '--without-mysql' '--with-apxs2' '--enable-mbstring' mbstring Multibyte (Japanese) Support enabled Directive Local Value Master Value mbstring.detect_order no value no value mbstring.func_overload 0 0 mbstring.http_input UTF-8 UTF-8 mbstring.http_output UTF-8 UTF-8 mbstring.internal_encoding UTF-8 UTF-8 mbstring.substitute_character no value no value 3. Since we will be using many languages, I set the encoding to UTF-8 here as well as in the header files of all my scripts. In addition, I set the default_charset directive in php.ini to UTF-8. I guess all the above settings may not be necessary. But it works for me :-) Best regards, Ma SivaKumar -- Integrated Management Tools for leather industry ---------------------------------- http://www.leatherlink.net Ma Siva Kumar, BSG LeatherLink (P) Ltd, ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
