crow610 Posted March 21, 2007 at 05:18 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 at 05:18 PM Hi! I'm trying to make a forum using phpBB but the problem that I am running into is when the user types the title in Chinese, the browser just spits out the unicode. But I have no problem typing Chinese in the message area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted March 22, 2007 at 03:55 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 at 03:55 AM That rings a very distant, faint bell - we used to run on phpBB, and I think I had the same issue at one point. Try looking for any options that are in some way altering the content - for example on VB there's a 'prevent shouting' option which will change CAPITALS to capitals - but it ruins Chinese text. Similarly anything that strips whitespace I think can cause problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crow610 Posted March 22, 2007 at 05:59 AM Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 at 05:59 AM Oh...I found the problem. I had to change $lang['ENCODING'] to utf-8 in order to see Chinese characters. btw Roddy...where ya living these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted March 22, 2007 at 07:45 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 at 07:45 AM Surprised that the wrong encoding would only affect titles, but never mind. Still between Beishida and Xizhimen. Drop me a pm if I owe you money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
