Sorry for the incredible delay in getting back to this. I'm in the
middle of a move and trying to finish up a few projects.

I went in and recoded the php file to echo the form vars. It came back
as nonsense. The form is XHTML 1 and encoded UTF-8. I'm wondering now
whether Apache is cramming the data. Is there a setting in apache for
locales? I've tried the languages setting, but nothing changed and it
didn't really make sense that it'd be related. I guess research on that
end is the next step.

Thanks much.
