You need a unicode production chain : database + php apache server. A single unicode database can host several languages (Arabic, Traditional Chinese, Russian). There is no need to use several charsets. So I assume you would prefer a Unicode backend. 1) Creation of a Unicode database You can use pgAdmin (http://pgadmin.postgresql.org) to create a Unicode database. But pgAdmin will not display Unicode information. Alternatively, use psql and create a Unicode database with : CREATE DATABASE foo WITH ENCODING = 'Unicode'; 2) Apache + Php Use Php and Apache as usual. Please note your webpages should: a) be saved in UTF-8 format. If you need to convert web pages to Unicode, use iconv or recode utilities. b) begin with <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">. This will tell the browser to switch to Unicode format. c) Verify that your browser has Japanese fonts installed. Visit Japan Yahoo, this should suffice as a test. Hope this is enough, Cheers, Jean-Michel POURE ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
