RE: How to read/write multibyte to database

> I'm using BIG5

Then you lose. Because BIG5 containts byte patterns conflicting with
ASCII special charcters (like '\'), I guess your code:

for(i=0; *queryString; i++)
{
splitword(items.Item, queryString, '&');
unescape_url(items.Item);
splitword(items.name, items.Item, '=');

if(!strcmp(items.name, "Name"))
{
strcpy(name, items.Item);
}
else if(!strcmp(items.name, "Address"))
{
strcpy(address, items.Item);
}

won't work. Change your program to treat BIG5 carefully. Or you
probably better to use EUC_TW or UTF-8 to write your web contents.
