I’m working on a php site that needs both Japanese and English. In most places I have no trouble getting the Japanese to display correctly, but I can’t get the characters to display if I use a function like this:
echo.php:
<?php
function draw(){
echo "日本語";
}
draw();
?>
I get “日本語”
but if I try this :
index.php:
<?php
some stuff
include "echo.php";
draw();
?>
I get “???”.
Is there any way for me to get my echo file to send the data to the first file in a way it can read it?
EDIT:
The website works, and shows Japanese characters correctly, except when it tries to pull a function from a php file
Here’s the code:
<html lang="ja">
<head>
<title>Running Projects</title>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<? php include "layout.php" ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Where layout.php is just a file with a list of links, I have this on each page so the links are on every page.
For a different part, I have to use functions.php to get some data from a database and write it to the page, so, I tried putting layout.php into the functions.php and calling it: The English links appeared, but the Japanese links appeared as question marks.
You should change your file encoding to UTF-8 and set the header on the website to UTF-8.
in HTML5 you should use:
or in php
