HOWTO: Prevent ASP page from displaying Chinese characters when outputing using...

Hi,

Probably due to my 'Language for non-Unicode Setting' in Regional Settings,
my ASP page keeps outputing the date format as Chinese Simplified characters
when issuing say, <%=Now()%>. In addition, my client script also interpret
it as Chinese characters, which I don't want it to behave this way. However,
I can't remove my 'Chinese (PRC)' settings in control panel as I need it for
other Chinese version software. Does anyone knows how can I display the date
in my ASP page in normal English? I did try out the META tag Content Type
and put in several charset to try out, but seems like it doesn't work at
all.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Antonio

same problem too. Any idea? Thanks!

Hello peeps, I am using PHP 5.2.2 together with MP3_Id (a PEAR module for reading and writing MP3 tags). I have been using PHP on the command line (Mac OS X Unix shell, to be precise), and am getting on more or less OK. So far, I have managed to parse my tab-delimited .txt file properly into an array, and then use this array to update the tags on a bunch of MP3 audio files. Nice.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
