[FX.php List] Problem with text formatting

[Bob Patin]

Well, what happened was that if I used his Shift_JIS meta-tag, FX.php  
showed a 958 error when I tried to create a new record; I had solved  
it by switching to UTF-8. Last night, thanks to Joel Shapiro, I used  
the utf_encode() function to leave the form page in shift_JIS, and  
then take the POST data and put it into UTF-8 so that FX.php and  
FileMaker could deal with it.

Working in foreign languages other than French is new for me; I had  
to take 12-15 forms that the client, which are all in Japanese, and  
write the code to pull the data into FM records. It's interesting  
seeing the HTML in Japanese, although the underlying HTML is in  
English...

Fortunately, FileMaker behaves well with the inputted data.
