not loading mbstrings didn't change anything, versions prior to 5.2.3 work well with no problem at all. i guess anyone that still uses a microsoft os like xp, can comfirm my complaint. well thanks jani for your help. if you have access to windows xp with php 5.2.3 installed on it, you may be able to figure out what the problem is. till then bye......

(this is getting quite boring..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-28 18:57:35] perching_eagle at yahoo dot com i followed your advice, set display_errors to On and error_reporting to E_ALL, it didn't do much help but when i set the error_reporting to E_ALL & E_STRICT the japanese characters disappeared from the output of my code when using a php editor (i use php designer), however nothing changed when i tried display my output on a browser window using apache httpd. i also noticed some comments or non-directives in the php ini file, that were not properly "commented" with ";" and correcting them still didn't help. i also think that in the window edition of php 5.2.3 download, mb_string language was set to japanese by default, even for english language speakers, and those japanese characters dumped on the output screen from my code, could be error messages automatically translated into japanese. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-28 11:19:54] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Try rewriting those files of yours from scratch and set error_reporting to E_ALL and display_errors=On in your php.ini.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-28 11:18:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Perhaps the reason it works for me is that I don't bother using Windows but a working OS instead. Linux. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-28 00:41:16] perching_eagle at yahoo dot com i tried the new extension in your post and it didn't help. one question? did you try saving the two classes in seperate files? that is when the problem arises, i even notice that by importing dummy php files created similar results, the characters that are dumped on the screen looks a lot like japanese characters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
