I want to display Japanese text on my site and am having many problems. I am using Linux Redhat 8, PHP 4.2.
Basically what I have is a file page.php with the following code: page.php: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" content="ja"> </head> <body>Home:<br> <?php include("lng_page_ja.php"); echo "home in japanese:"; echo "<br><br>$home"; ?> </body> </html> I then have an include file with the Japanese text assigned to the variable $home. lng_page_ja.php: <?php $home = "ホーãƒ"; ?> This should output the japanese characters for Home. But all I get is garbage out. Why? What changes dfo I have to do. I do not want to use a database yet to store the Japanese text. Any help would be appreciated.
