Thank you Edwin, Marek, and Eugene for your responses and advice. For storing the Japanese names in kanji in the database, I've changed the column to "blob". Storing and retrieving the fields seems to work okay in all my tests, and this solution seemed to be the easiest and without any potential impact on the rest of the database. Thank you for this solution. For sending the email in Japanese, I am still not quite getting it. At first I attempted to attach character set information within the mail() command like so: $addheaders = 'From: ' .$email .'\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-2022-jp'; mail ($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent, $addheaders); This sends the mail correctly, but the content is still coming out as ASCII gibberish. I then attempted to use the mb_send_mail() command, like so (this time a "From: " address being the only additional header: mb_language(Japanese); mb_send_mail($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent, $fromaddress); But this had exactly the same result. I see on the http://jp2.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-send-mail.php web page there is lots of additional comments on the use of mb-send-mail(), but the technical vocabulary is beyond me. Can someone help me tweak this code to successfully send a kanji email?
