Multi-Byte String Functions

--enable-mbstr-enc-trans : Enable HTTP input character encoding conversion using mbstring conversion engine. If this feature is enabled, HTTP input character encoding may be converted to mbstring.internal_encoding automatically.

Note: As of PHP 4.3.0, the option --enable-mbstr-enc-trans will be eliminated and replaced with mbstring.encoding_translation. HTTP input character encoding conversion is enabled when this is set to On (the default is Off).

はまった…。結局のところ mbstring.internal_encoding を enable してやれば良いだけのことらしいのだが…やっぱり触っていないとダメだなぁ。
