    Hi All,

    I m using PHP Version 4.3.2 & Mysql version 3.23.58(No collation etc).
    My site is in shift JIS encoding. I've both japanese users & russian users. They have entered their member profile in their language. So I have over 5000 member data both in russian & japanese. Now my russian member profile page is showing junk characters. if I change the encoding to cyrillic(window-1251) then russian character are ok, but japanese characters get junked. I can not use both encoding to same page and if I use UTF-8 encoding the old data(both language) is get junked.

    Pls Pls help if you know the solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sandeep

    What you can do is edit the database with phpmyadmin or some sort. and put japanese characters instead of encoded.
