Japanese text not rendering at php pages

Post by arnabs »

In my php pages the Japanese text does not render well. The text gets garbled.
Is there any specic configuration needs to be enabled at php or the server for Japanese text to display?

Have tried char settings - UTF-8 and EUC-JP. Not much difference.

PHP would have nothing to do with the Japanese text not showing up - unless you're trying to make an image. If you're just outputing Japanese text - you should maybe check your DOCTYPE (thought I'm not sure that's relevant), and make sure you've got all the fonts & internationalization set up properly.

I'm blessed to do everything in English, so I'm not to versed in how to make Japanese text work.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
