possible solution to problem of displaying multibyte character

PHPNuke is a multilanguage websit-builder package writed in php too, and its multibyte character languages work fine. It's language package files use the function define("...","...") rather than $string('...')="..." in Moodle.  In functional php files, PHPNuke calls the defined strings directly, eg echo "something"._DEFINEDSTRING."another strings".........

Can Moodle try this method?

Well, not only would it be a big change, but Moodle's method is much more flexible than PHPNuke. It allows variable substitution on-the-fly and the ability to "fall back" to English if the string hasn't been defined yet.

So no, it won't change.

Which multibyte problems do you mean, anyhow? Chinese and Japanese display perfectly for me.

Hello.

Now I'm using Moodle in WinXP + MySQL3.23.53 + PHP 4.2.3 + Apache 2.0.43.

For the first time I could not see Japanese EUC-JP code correctly. But changing Apache httpd.conf setteing I can see pages well. If you are using Apache, please try this change.

This is what I done.

Cheers, you are great, Mitsuhiro!

Now, it works pretty fine! I so love it!

You are right, Martin, Moodle's method is much more flexible than PHPNuke. Excuse me.
