Let's use the permission settings of learningBOX! Part 2: School Use Hello! This isShinokura from the Quality Control Department. The rainy season has started, and the days are getting dreary and rainy. During the rainy season, it is easy to get sick due to the difference in weather and temperature, so please be careful. Now, in this article, continuing from the previous article, I would like to introduce how to use the authorization settings, assuming an example of use in a school. In the previous article, we introduced how to use Authorization Settings to give groups and members only the necessary privileges, rather than uniformly giving them the same privileges. In this article, we would like to explain how to make detailed settings for learning management, grade management, and assignment of teaching materials for each teacher's subject and class. If you find it difficult to use the authority settings, please take a look at this article. Click here for an article about authority settings. What are authority settings in learningBOX? Let's use the permission settings of learningBOX! School Use Click here for the table of contents Let's take a Japanese teacher as an example to set up privileges. 2. set up the classes you are in charge of using Group Management Authority (3) Specify the contents using the "Content Management Authority". (4) Use the Grade Management Authority to allow only the homeroom teacher to view and grade the grades. 5. summary Let's take a Japanese teacher as an example to set up the privileges. In this example, we will set up the following permissions for the homeroom teacher of the 1st grade. As the homeroom teacher of Class 1, she can check the grades of the students in her homeroom class. As a Japanese teacher, he/she can manage the teaching materials and contents for each grade (1-3) and check the grades of the students in his/her class. ▼Basic Information Mr. Tatsuo Tatsuno Subject : Japanese Class in charge of : 1st year class 1 ◆Procedure 1 Log in as "Plenipotentiary administrator (vice principal)" or "Owner account (principal)" of Administration General. ◆Work procedure ②. Click the Contents Management screen and create a folder from [Plus button]. Prepare folders for each hierarchy and set them up so that when you open a student's folder, you can open it in the order of >> Grade >> Subject. ◆Working Procedure (3) Return to "Documents" in Contents Management and set up the assignment of teaching materials. Assign the student's folder to the group "Students". Set up the classes to be assigned using the group admin rights Once you have assigned teaching materials, set up your groups. ◆Procedure 4 From the Member Management screen, set the group management privileges and set the class that Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei will be in charge of. Set the class you are in charge of and click the Save button at the end, and the icon will change to red. Specify the content using the teaching material management authority ◆Procedure 5. From the Member Management screen, click the "Teaching material management authority" privilege. Use this authority to set the Japanese language of the grade for which Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei is in charge. Save the file as "Student>>1Year>>Japanese, Student>>2Year>>Japanese, Student>>3Year>>Japanese". Set up the system so that only the teacher in charge can view and grade the grades using grade management privileges. Step 6. From the Member Management screen, click "Grade Control Authority". Specify the group name and the folder for teaching materials as shown below, and finally click the Save button. ◆Procedure 7. Set up the assignment of teaching materials. Specify the classes you are in charge of and the folders related to them, and click the Save button. This completes the setup of administrative privileges for Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei. Please follow this procedure to give the same privileges to each teacher's account and save them. Once the authorization settings are complete, each teacher can create contents in the subject (folder) for which he/she is in charge. Only the teacher in charge of the subject can view and grade the student's answers. Let's check what you can do by logging in with Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei! ◆Member Management Members under Student>1Year>1Group are displayed, and you can create, edit, delete, etc. members under Student>1Year>1Group. ◆Contents Management It is possible to create, edit, delete, and assign materials under Student>1 year>Japanese language. Similarly, it is possible to create, edit, delete, and assign materials under Student > 2 years > and Student > 3 years > Japanese. ◆Member grade management Tatsuo Tatsuno-sensei is able to view, grade, output CSV, and send grade control notification emails below. Grades of "Student>1Year" for members belonging to the group "Student>1Year>1" (-> because he is the homeroom teacher of the class 1Year1) Grades of "Students > 1 year > Japanese" for members belonging to the group "Students > 1 year" (→ because they are in charge of Japanese) Grades of the members of the group "Students > 2 years" in "Students > 2 years > Japanese" (→ because they are in charge of Japanese) The results of "Student > 3 years > Japanese" of the members of the group "Student > 3 years > Japanese" (→ for being in charge of Japanese) Conclusion In this paper, we have discussed how to set the authority of teachers for each subject, assuming a school setting. Using these methods, it is possible to flexibly combine them, such as sometimes being in charge of all grades and sometimes only one class, without uniformly giving the same authority. Many schools may be introducing or considering e-learning systems as online teaching advances in the wake of the coronavirus. learningBOX is a learning management system that even first-time users can intuitively touch and learn its functions without difficulty in operation and settings. Each teacher working in a school has many roles. I think they manage various roles and organizations, such as being in charge of a grade, a class, or a subject they teach. Please try to set up the authorization taking into consideration the authorization that each individual teacher should have, without giving unnecessary authorization.

Thank you for your continued support of learningBOX. We are pleased to report the results of the survey we conducted with your cooperation in April. We would like to thank the many people who provided valuable feedback on the survey. We will use your opinions and impressions to inform our future development policy for learningBOX, as well as features that should be developed, in order to ensure customer satisfaction. We will use your answers only as materials for our future activities to improve the quality of our services. Click here for table of contents 1. survey contents 2. report of the survey results 3. summary Content of the Questionnaire We have asked five questions in this survey. Thank you very much for taking the time to complete our survey. Here are the survey items Question 1. Do you use the paid version? Question 2. Please tell us how you use learningBOX. Q3. How satisfied are you with our company? Q4. Please tell us about any other products that you have compared with ours or that you have used before. Q5. What do you want to achieve with learningBOX, and what additional functions would you like to see added? Report on the results of the survey Q1. Are you using the paid version? Q2. What do you use learningBOX for (multiple choice)? Q3. How satisfied are you with our company? Thank you very much for your high evaluation. We are not satisfied with the results of this survey, but will take your concerns and feedback seriously and strive to improve our functions in the future. Q4: Please tell us about any other products that you compared with ours or that you have used before. We did not compare our product with any other company's product. We focused on price when we introduced the system. We have monthly training sessions, and we have to manage and report the results of about 100 people within the company, so "ease of creating teaching materials" and "ease of grade management and notification" were major points in choosing your e-learning system. The learningBOX system was visually familiar and easy to operate. It was also easy to implement in terms of cost. I think that the system is still as user-friendly for both administrators and students as it was at first. Q5. Is there anything you would like to achieve with learningBOX or any additional functions you would like to see added? About ▼Quiz I would like to make a quiz in which the correct answers are given in any order. I would like to make questions in which the order of the choices are randomized and questions in which they are not. I would like to have an auto-save function. There were many times when I jumped to another page without saving my changes. The sensitivity of the sorting questions seems to be a bit poor when using a smartphone or iPhone. It would be useful if there was an option to set a passing score, so that the last question answered would count as a pass or completion. About the memorization cards It would be nice if audio was available for memorization cards. It would be better if the cards could be read out loud. About the email notifications There are many times when I want to send a reminder e-mail to someone who has not finished studying the material. In such cases, it would be very helpful to be able to send a reminder e-mail to those who have not yet studied the material and those who are still studying. Currently, we have to send the e-mails individually. Questionnaire function Regarding the layout, some users said that the questions are difficult to read on the left side of the screen. We would appreciate it if you could edit the layout or reconsider it. Others It would be great if Powerpoint animations could be used instead of iSpring. We would like to conduct online classes for the purpose of preventing new coronavirus infection. (Online class) We would like to have a reservation function for uploading and a notification function when uploading is completed. (I would like to select multiple contents and upload them in order.) We would like to add a memo to the name of teaching materials for internal use. (A function to inform other administrators of comments such as "This is for XXX" that can only be seen by administrators.) I want a batch setting function for the management function. (When giving grade management privileges to multiple people, I would like to set them all up at once.) (When we give multiple people the authority to manage grades, we would like to set them all up at once. I would like to create, edit, and manage video training programs in chapter format using learningBOX. We would like to have a chat function. Students can easily ask questions, give explanations to each other in the same group, and share their problems. For customers who want to conduct online classes (online classes) Please refer to the article "Using a live streaming tool to conduct online classes on learningBOX" for details on how to set up a live video streaming service using learningBOX and the video sharing site Vimeo.

If you need a venue for a computer-based certification/examination but cannot secure a venue in-house, we recommend that you conduct your certification/examination at a venue-based test center that supports CBT (Computer Based Testing). What is CBT? CBT stands for Computer Based Testing. It refers to computer-based testing. By taking tests by computer, instead of using paper question papers or mark sheets, the time and cost required for scoring, scoring, and notification of results can be greatly reduced. In addition, since the test is taken by computer, questions with audio and video can be used. Features of CBT CBT examinations are more convenient than paper-based examinations, and the results are available immediately after the examination is completed. There is no anxiety or time lag in waiting for the results. ▼Examiners and accredited organizations can set up questions and answer methods that are unique to web-based examinations! It is also possible to set questions that are difficult to realize in paper-based examinations, such as audio and video. The collection, judgment, and notification of results can be done automatically, reducing the time and cost of printing and distributing materials compared to paper-based examinations. Coverage of Nationwide Examination Sites The system supports 150 examination sites in 109 districts in 47 prefectures nationwide (as of June 2020), making it effective for companies with offices spread across the country that need to conduct examinations for promotion or when there are examinees throughout the country at the site.

Hello, my name is Kuroda from the Quality Control Department. Do you know all the types of content you can create with our e-learning system? LearningBOX has contents, functions, and learning environment that even beginners can easily start online classes. In this article, we would like to tell you about "how to choose learningBOX content," a topic we have received many inquiries about recently. It is not easy to get used to writing, but I will do my best, and I hope you will enjoy this article as well. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. types of learningBOX materials 2. how to choose learning materials 3. examples of use 4. summary Types of learning materials available on learningBOX There are currently a total of 15 types of functions available for our e-learning system! However, the abundance of learning materials is one of the strengths of learningBOX and the secret of its popularity! By utilizing these 15 types of materials, we are able to support all kinds of companies, schools, and cram schools, such as "online learning, newcomers, in-house training, and remote training"! How to Select Learning Materials With such a large number of learning materials, it is hard to think of learning materials from scratch. Is it possible to create the teaching materials you have imagined? Many people wonder how to combine the contents they have created. For such customers, we would like to briefly introduce the contents function of learningBOX. If you are not sure how to create teaching materials, please take a look at these contents. Quiz / Test The quiz function allows you to create and grade paper-based exam questions on the web, such as school tests, mock tests, and quizzes. The quiz function allows users to create questions in more than 12 different formats, including multiple choice, multiple choice, essay, and fill-in-the-blanks. The quiz function allows you to create questions in two modes: master mode, which is suitable for preparation and review, and normal mode, which is suitable for exam questions. We highly recommend this quiz function if you want to encourage learners to consolidate their understanding and memory. There is also a setting that does not tell (hide) the results to the learner.Here is how to use the test mode setting function. Memorization card I am sure that many of our customers have seen or used memorization cards at least once in their lives. I also often used them to prepare for exams during my high school years and up until I was a working adult. These memorization cards are the same as actual word cards, and you cannot look back at them randomly. But instead, you can visualize what percentage you have memorized by checking "memorized". Why not use it as an aid for studying for a test or for content you want learners to remember for sure? Unlike conventional memorization cards, these memorization cards can be prepped and reviewed as many times as you want with just one smartphone. Video/YouTube Video Besides uploading videos created by customers, learningBOX also makes it easy to set up YouTube videos. Simply copy the embed code and paste it into place. By using videos and YouTube videos as teaching aids, "you can keep track of who watched it, when, and for how long, right on your results screen." The advantage of videos is that they can be watched over and over again, making them very useful for university lectures, experiments, and other content that cannot be memorized in a single session. *Please be careful to use the copyright of the videos. WEB page This function allows you to easily create an explanatory page. You can also add pages, so you can use it like a textbook. Not only simple text like a notepad, but also font size and text color can be changed. Worm-eaten notebook MUSHIBUKI Notebook allows you to easily create memorization questions in the form of sentences. It is used to memorize words that often appear on exams by hiding the words you want to remember with a marker. I also have fond memories of memorizing world history textbooks in high school by drawing green markers and covering them with red sheets. As with the memorization cards, the key point here is that you can visualize what percentage you have memorized as the number of hidden parts increases. Please use it for memorization materials before exams, etc. Questionnaire Collect multiple responses to a question. The administrator can download a CSV of the total responses from the question-specific tab of the Results Management screen. Reports Both text entry and file submission are supported, and administrators can grade the reports with comments. Learners can easily see the grading details on the grade details screen or in the "Submitted Reports List" in the side menu. PDF file PDF files can be viewed and distributed to learners. Printing and downloading of PDFs can be prohibited. Attachment Used when you want to give data or files to users. You can use the data by itself or compress multiple data into a zip file for attachment teaching materials. Using this function, you can have learners download a variety of files as educational materials. SCORM teaching materials You can upload your own content or materials that have been used on other companies' LMSs. Two of our engineers have created SCORM materials in the past and introduced them to you. Click here to read the article about SCORM teaching materials. How to create and add SCORM materials using TensorFlow.js How to rewrite your own programs into SCORM materials and use them in learningBOX Typing materials Teaching materials for typing practice. You can set the font size, time limit, passing score, order of questions, and level of grading, and wrong letters are displayed in bold red letters on the score details screen. iSpring Teaching Materials iSpring is available as an add-on to PowerPoint. iSpring allows you to shoot lecture videos based on PowerPoint materials you already have on hand for teaching purposes. This authoring tool is recommended for those who are considering in-house production of video presentations. iframe teaching materials If you specify "embed tags" to be used in HTML notation, you can register them as educational materials. If the embedded content is a quiz from our QuizGenerator, the score is not saved, but the history of the opened material can be checked on the grade management screen. In addition to our quizzes, you can also embed word cards and Google Maps. Certificates From stylish to cute designs, we can create certificates that give learners a special feeling. You can set the issue date and expiration date, and print, save as a PDF, or save as an image. You can easily check the certificates you have already obtained on the certificate list screen. Here are some examples of use The teaching material I came up with this time is a vocabulary book to memorize prefectural capitals using memorization cards! The letters are centered and larger, and ruby settings have been added. Even adults can learn enough. Using Mnemonic Cards as a Self-Study Auxiliary Tool Combine the contents and use it as a course study. Use the quiz function to test the content learned on the memorization cards and distribute certificates after passing the test! Watch the video to see the series of steps. ▼If you have difficulty seeing the video, please view it in full screen.

Greetings, I am Kozuki, a new member of the Marketing Department who joined the company this year. As we start a new fiscal year, I believe that many companies first conduct new employee training when new employees join the company. I, too, took the new employee training! At learningBOX, of course! So this time, I would like to introduce new employee training using our e-learning system, learningBOX, and my "impressions after using it. For those of you who are thinking about "improving the efficiency of new employee training and online learning"! We hope you will consider implementing learningBOX with reference to this article. Click here for the table of contents 1. click here for Tatsuno Information System's new employee training program 2. training flow Impressions of the training 4. summary Click here for Tatsuno Information System's new employee training program. Upon joining our company, all new employees undergo "Basic New Employee Training" and "Customer Support (CS) Training" using the learningBOX. After these two training courses, they are divided into their respective departments and areas of expertise. A brief description of the content of the training... STEP: 1. New employee basic training New employees learn basic information about the company, such as business activities, employment regulations, company rules, tools used in business, and information security. STEP: 2. Customer support (CS) training After learning how to reply to e-mails and how to write sentences, trainees submit a report on how they would reply to e-mails from customers who have actually inquired about learningBOX and QuizGenerator in the past. The purpose of CS training is "to deepen understanding of the functions and services of learningBOX and QuizGenerator," and all employees, not just those in charge of CS, take part in the training. Please take a look at our internal case studies for more information on CS training. https://learningbox.online/casestudy/casestudy20200204/ Training Flow Upon receiving training at learningBOX, you will receive a brief verbal overview of the training and an explanation of how the training will be conducted. After having a senior employee register as a learningBOX member, you will receive an "ID" and "password," and log in to learningBOX to begin the training. The training on learningBOX is conducted by first learning through PDF/Google Slides/videos published on learningBOX, and then answering tests to pass the tests. A passing score is set for the test, and if you fail the test, you will have to take the test again to pass. For quiz-style tests, learningBOX will automatically grade the test, but for questions that require a report, a senior employee will grade the test on learningBOX after the report is submitted. Impressions of newcomer training at learningBOX Now, let me share with you my impressions of the new employee training on learningBOX, the subject of this issue. Impression #1: No confusion in operation When I took the training course at learningBOX, I had no trouble at all in operating the screen. Even if you don't check how to operate the system, you will be able to use it without any problems. One of the points that prevents us from getting lost is the "visualization of the training to be taken". Point 1 ⇒Materials are displayed in the order of progression. LearningBOX has a "course setting" function that allows you to advance to the next question after you pass a specific question. You cannot proceed to the next question until you have passed and understood the question, so you can proceed with the training in the order in which you should proceed. Point 2 Learning status is displayed on the status display. The current learning status is displayed by status, and can be checked from the list, so you can see at a glance which trainings have been completed and which have not. For tests whose results you do not want to show immediately, you can change the status to "Conducted". Point 3 Easy-to-answer question screen As learningBOX offers multiple question formats, tests are presented in a format suitable for the difficulty level and answer method desired by the presenter. The question answer screen is simple and intuitive. The function to display explanations makes it easy to review even if you make a mistake on a question. LearningBOX can also display only the training courses that each department should receive, since it is possible to set up the distribution of training materials for each group by dividing members into groups and setting up the assignment of training materials. Impression #2: Deepen understanding at your own pace Basically, you can proceed from learning to testing all by yourself, allowing you to learn at your own pace. In addition, learningBOX is equipped with "functions to deepen learners' understanding. Point 4. Focused study of wrong questions Questions created in Master Mode are suitable for repeated study and review. By answering questions from the "Overcome Weaknesses" button, learners can focus on the questions they got wrong. Furthermore, if a question or section has been created using the "tagging function," the number of correct answers, number of incorrect answers, and percentage of correct answers for each tag will be displayed on the "chart function" page, allowing learners to check their weak areas. →Click here for more information about the tagging function. Tagging Function About the tagging function By tagging each section or question, you can use the tags to analyze your performance (e.g., to check your weak areas)For more information, click here. (e.g. to check areas of weakness)For details, click here. →Click here for more information about the chart function. About the chart function The personal chart function allows you to check how much each user is learning each day and how far he or she has progressed.Click here for details. Point 5 Favorite function to save training materials The ability to save training materials as favorites makes it convenient for reviewing training materials on the job after the training is over. Favorite materials will be displayed in the "Favorite Materials" section of the "Study" menu. Conclusion learningBOX is an easy-to-use e-learning system for learners. It is easy to use, and learners can check their own understanding of the training content as they go along. It can also be used on smartphones and tablets, so learners can study at home as part of their pre-employment training. If you are considering implementing learningBOX, we encourage you to register for learningBOX and use almost all of its features for free for an unlimited period of time for up to 10 accounts.

Let's use the permission settings of learningBOX! School Use Edition Hello! This isShinokura from the Quality Control Department. There has been a pandemic of the new coronavirus worldwide. 。。。。。 Let's be careful and spend our time by thoroughly following the basic "wash your hands, gargle, and ventilate". Now, in this article, I'd like to talk about the use of "learningBOX authorization settings," which I introduced to you a little last time! In this article, based on the previous contents, I would like to further elaborate on the authorization settings and try to set up the authorization settings assuming an example of use in a school. If you are interested in introducing our e-learning system (learningBOX) in your school, please refer to this article to learn the authorization settings and try using it. Click here for the table of contents 1. brief review of authorization settings 2. introduction of authority settings using a school as an example 3. let's add administrative privileges 4. let's try to log in with the member who set the permission 5. summary Brief Review of Authorization Settings Using the Authorization Settings in learningBOX, "management, setting, and editing tasks" such as "creating learning materials, managing grades, and assigning learning materials" that are usually performed by the administrator can be entrusted to a user (a person who has been assigned the authority) designated by the administrator. Authorized users can manage the learning environment in learningBOX in the same way as the administrator, such as creating content (learning materials), viewing and managing learners' grade information, and assigning content to each group. *If you would like to learn more about authority settings, please refer to the previous article on how to give appropriate roles to members using learningBOX's authority settings. Here is an example of authority settings using a school as an example In this authorization setting, the administrator (principal) will set authorizations such as "create teaching materials, manage grades, and assign teaching materials" to the leader (teacher) of each group. To make it easier to understand the authorization settings, we will divide the groups into "learning administrator = teacher" and "learner = student". To set up permissions, you will first need to create a group in Member Management. In this case, we will use this group that we have prepared in advance. Using the member management function of learningBOX, you can add and register members and groups by delving into one group in more detail. ▼ Group Configuration This time, the group is structured in this hierarchy. Teacher>>Student Management - Subject>>Japanese - Mathematics - English - Social Studies - Science ・・・・・ Student>>Year 1->Year 2->Year 3->Group 1->Group 2・・・・ *The flow of setting up permissions is to create member accounts for teachers in the "Teacher" group, student member accounts in the "Student" group, and member accounts for administrators in the "Administration in General" group. And in this example setup, we will show you how to 1. grant administrative privileges to the "Head teacher" from the principal who is the administrator. 2. set up a "student administrator" teacher to manage "students". 3. set up a "teacher administrator" teacher to manage "teachers". We would like to set up the above three. Let's put on the management authority. Let's log in to learningBOX with the account of the administrator (principal) and set up the administrative privileges. As the general supervisor of learningBOX, you will have all administrative privileges. It might be a good idea to put the principal's most trusted "vice principal" in charge of this post! Here is how to set it up. Please watch this video. Here is the procedure for setting up permissions. (1) Log in with the administrator's account. (2) Select the group/member for which you wish to set administrative privileges. In this case, "Administration General". (3) Click on the All icon for Administrative Authority, select "All members and all materials, and check all" and save it. Now, the "vice principal = administrator with full authority" can create groups and members (and can also be granted administrative privileges), create and assign teaching materials, view grades, manage announcements, edit the text of e-mails, and operate settings. Setting Permissions for Student Management Groups ▼ Please watch this video. The members of the "Teacher" >> "Student Management" group (student administrators) are authorized to manage "students". Click on the icon button of the person with administrative privileges, select "Students" instead of all members, and save. This will allow the student administrator to create, edit, and delete members in the hierarchy below "Students". The student member accounts do not need any specific permissions, so the grant permissions will not be granted. Authorization rights will also be set for teacher-managed groups. ▼ Please see this video. Give permission to the member (teacher administrator) who belongs to "Sensei" >> "Teacher Management" to manage "Sensei". Administrative Permissions >> People Icon >> Select "Teacher" without selecting all members and save. Next, click the hammer icon in the administrative authority, check the grant authority and save. This setting allows the teacher administrator to create, edit, and delete members in the hierarchy below "Teacher", as well as to grant administrative privileges to them. Let's log in with the member who has been granted privileges. Let's log in to learningBOX with the member who has been given the authority and check the member management screen. Administrator with full privileges Log in to learningBOX with the account of the head teacher. The screen is the same as that of the owner (principal). You can also set input fields. Student Administrator When you open the member management screen, don't be surprised if you see "You do not have administrative privileges for this group. Click on "Students" to view the members belonging to the "Students" group. You can add, edit, and delete groups and members by clicking the + button. (Below "Student") There are no items with icons for administrative privileges, because you have not been given the authority to grant privileges. Teacher Administrator As before, you can view the members belonging to "Teacher" by clicking "Teacher". You can add, edit, and delete groups and members from + button. (Under "Teacher") Because you have been given authorization authority, you can add authorization from the administration authority. Conclusion Many schools across the country have suddenly decided to close as a measure to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. Although it was unavoidable, teachers must have been troubled by the sudden situation. With an e-learning system, the teacher can take videos of the class from home and submit questions, and the students can view the videos and solve the problems at home. Our e-learning system, learningBOX, is available on a free trial basis. In this paper, we introduced how to give only the authority that is required, not uniformly the same authority, to groups and members assuming a school. In the next issue, I would like to talk about how to set the authority to teachers for each subject. Thank you for your patience until the end.

I am Nishimura, the creator of QuizGenerator, and the creator of QuizGenerator. Actually, I did not participate in the initial development of learningBOX, but started full-fledged participation around the release of version 2.0. I have just received a pull request regarding the handling of character encoding, and I thought I should talk a little more about character encoding, so I put it together in an article. In this article, I will introduce "How to unify the character encoding of text files with utf-8 in PHP". We hope you enjoy this article as well. Table of Contents 1. shift-JIS is unavoidable 2. how to avoid garbled characters 3. how to determine character encoding 4. summary Shift-JIS is unavoidable. Systems like learningBOX and QuizGenerator sometimes receive text files such as CSV. In modern Web systems, the character encoding of text files should be utf-8, and we do not want to accept any other character encoding, but in reality, Shift_JIS files are often uploaded on rare occasions and reported as a problem. Therefore, when QuizGenerator receives a Shift_JIS file, it converts it to utf-8 and continues processing. What is Shift-JIS? Shift-JIS is one of the character codes that contain various characters including Japanese, standardized as JIS standard. It is used as the standard character code for Japanese in many personal computers. it is an improvement of the JIS code defined in the JIS standard. while the JIS code uses 7 bits to represent a character, the Shift-JIS code uses 2 bytes (16 bits) to represent all characters. mb_convert_encoding is not reliable. PHP has a function called mb_convert_encoding to perform character encoding conversion. At first glance, this function seems to be able to determine the character encoding and convert to utf-8, but in fact, this function is not reliable. mb_convert_encoding("aaa", "utf-8", "utf-8, sjis-win") will convert "aaa" to utf-8 if it is utf-8 and to Shift_JIS If it is Shift_JIS, it should convert it to utf-8 (at least that's what I've read in the official documentation), but in fact, it does something ridiculous. It forcefully interprets a string passed in as utf-8 as Shift_JIS, breaks it, and converts it to utf-8, returning a value that is incomprehensible. How to avoid character corruption ▼ "mb_convert_encoding works properly if you specify the character encoding of the conversion source. mb_convert_encoding works properly as long as you specify the character encoding of the conversion source. In other words, the strategy of converting from Shift_JIS to utf-8 only if it is Shift_JIS, and doing nothing if it is utf-8, basically works. mb_convert_encoding("aaaa", "utf-8", "sjis-win") The above code works fine if "aaaa" is Shift_JIS. If it is originally utf-8, it is OK as is. How do we determine the character encoding? There is a function called mb_detect_encoding, but to begin with, if this works correctly, it can be solved simply by using mb_convert_encoding. If the standard functions don't work, you're on your own. It is not that difficult to determine whether or not the utf-8 specification is met, so just do it. What if it is not utf-8? If it's not utf-8, we'll treat it as Shift_JIS at ・・・・. We can't support people who submit euc-jp or utf-16 files, at least not if they know about encoding. At least, people who do that should know about encoding, so please self-serve. In the first place, they are specified to use utf-8. Another trap I have used the term Shift_JIS many times in this article, but what is currently referred to as Shift_JIS is often Windows-31J (MS932), which is an extension of Shift_JIS. However, if you specify Shift_JIS in PHP, characters other than those specified in the original Shift_JIS specification will be corrupted. Unless you have a special reason, use Windows-31J or sjis-win instead of Shift_JIS. The official documentation says to use Windows-31J, but only sjis-win is listed, which is a strange state of affairs, but at least with PHP 7.3.13, either specification worked fine. Will a unified future ever come? About 20 years ago. When I first started web programming, UTF-8 was not the standard and garbled characters were a common occurrence. In the Web world, it seems safe to say that the unification to utf-8 has been completed. Smartphones were created based on the assumption of utf-8, since they were born in a world after utf-8 became widely used. （On the other hand, files exchanged on Windows are often in Shift_JIS. Conclusion In this article, we introduced "How to unify the character encoding of text files with utf-8 in PHP. As a company from Japan, we would like to keep the usability for Japanese people in mind, so we will continue to develop without forgetting about Shift_JIS for a while longer. (We really want to forget about IE11...)
