Form Help : Handle Chinese Character

[qiqinuinaifen128]

Hi Pros,

I have a question regarding handling chinese character.

I have an text area for user to key in sth. But when the user key in Chinese Character and click a button[this button is for the user to save what he/she key in the textarea into their local directory].
The problem is when i view the file just save, all display funny symbol..

Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem i would sincerely appreciate?

Below is the php code i am using for the save button. I wonder if i want to fix this problem. how to start, is it because of my php script or html code....

<?php 
// Check for user data, if its not empty do this... 
if ( !empty( $_POST['FileContent'] ) ) 
{ 
        // stripslash the user input 
        $string = stripslashes( $_POST["FileContent"] ); 
        // Create a unique-ish filename. 
        $FileName = "Sitemaps.php"; 
        // Create and open the file. 
        $FileHandle = fopen ( $FileName, 'w' ); 
        // Write the data. 
        fwrite ( $FileHandle, $string ); 
        // Close the file. 
        fclose ( $FileHandle ); 
        // Set file header information. 
        header ( 'Content-Type: text/html' ); 
        header ( 'Content-Description: File Transfer' ); 
        header ( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . basename( $FileName ) . '"' ); 
        header ( 'Content-Length: ' . filesize( $FileName ) ); 
        // Push file to client. 
        readfile( $FileName ); 
        // Delete file. 
        unlink( $FileName ); 

        exit(); 
} 

?>

Have a look at utf8_encode().

i change my script to this, but how come it show me another type of funny symbol?
fwrite ( $FileHandle, utf8_encode($st ring) );

Try changing the content type header to: Content-Type: text/html;charset=ut f-8

[qiqinuinaifen128]

my initial is content="text/html; charset=utf-8"
is it the same?
