How to display non English characters in php gtk2 - Part 1 - simplied Chinese on windows?


Solution

  1. Open php.ini (located in the folder where you installed php-gtk2).

  2. Scroll to the bottom. Most likely you will see one big chunk of text like this.
    3. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; PHP-GTK extensions ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Extensions written for PHP-GTK are in the format php_gtk_*.dll (Windows) or ;php_gtk_*.so (Unix), written here as a comma-separated list. The library ; files need to be in the same directory as the PHP-GTK library, along with; any other PHP extensions you are using. php-gtk.extensions = php_gtk_libglade2.dll ;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Code Page ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; The string variables used for titles and other text values in GTK+ are; encoded in UTF-8 internally. A code page is needed so that PHP-GTK 'knows'; which character set is being used, and can convert it to UTF-8 as necessary.; If your environment uses UTF-8 already, you can set the codepage directive ; to UTF-8 to skip the conversions.; The default codepage setting in PHP-GTK 2 is ISO-8859-1, but you can also; use either OEM (e.g. 850) or Windows Code Pages (e.g. CP1250) here, so; long as the encoding format you choose is capable of iconv conversion. See; http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/cphome.mspx for a list of; the code pages and character sets that are supported on Windows systems.php-gtk.codepage = CP1250

    ; Local Variables:
    ; tab-width: 4
    ; End:

  3. Replace that chunk of text with the following:
    4. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    ; Code Page ;
    ;;;;;;;;;;;;;

    ; Chinese simplified
    php-gtk.codepage = CP936

  4. If you are running simplified Chinese windows, you are all set. If you are running English windows, go to Control Panel - Regional and Language Options. Click on the Advanced Tab and make sure the Chinese language (simplified) is installed.
