Internalizations in PHP (correct encoding/charset to support Japanese chars)

[eros]

How to programming in PHP that supports Japanese characters.

Problem: When I insert the data into database. The data inserted are garbage.

Maybe there is configurations or code to be added at first.

you have to encode the data in the correct charset (e.g. utf-8 or shift-jis) before saving it to the DB, furthermore if the DB is set to the wrong charset (see DB table preferences) there might be problems too.
For utf-8 you can use utf8_encode().
