Form Help : Handle Chinese Character

[qiqinuinaifen128]

Hi Pros,

I have a question regarding handling chinese character.

I have an text area for user to key in sth. But when the user key in Chinese Character and click a button[this button is for the user to save what he/she key in the textarea into their local directory].
The problem is when i view the file just save, all display funny symbol..

Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem i would sincerely appreciate?

Below is the php code i am using for the save button. I wonder if i want to fix this problem. how to start, is it because of my php script or html code....
I heard from people that using utf8_encode(string), how to add it in to my script?

# <?php 
# // Check for user data, if its not empty do this... 
# if ( !empty( $_POST['FileContent'] ) ) 
# { 
#         // stripslash the user input 
#         $string = stripslashes( $_POST["FileContent"] ); 
#         // Create a unique-ish filename. 
#         $FileName = "Sitemaps.php"; 
#         // Create and open the file. 
#         $FileHandle = fopen ( $FileName, 'w' ); 
#         // Write the data. 
#         fwrite ( $FileHandle, $string ); 
#         // Close the file. 
#         fclose ( $FileHandle ); 
#         // Set file header information. 
#         header ( 'Content-Type: text/html' ); 
#         header ( 'Content-Description: File Transfer' ); 
#         header ( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . basename( $FileName ) . '"' ); 
#         header ( 'Content-Length: ' . filesize( $FileName ) ); 
#         // Push file to client. 
#         readfile( $FileName ); 
#         // Delete file. 
#         unlink( $FileName ); 
#  
#         exit(); 
# } 
#  
# ?>

before I get into anything -- I don't know if you added them yourself, but those hash signs (#) are comments in PHP. for this script to run at all, you would need to remove them. now, to use utf8_encode(), you simply apply it to your POST variable before you save the file contents.

$encoded_string = utf8_encode($_POST['FileContent']);
