Yes, 7.2.1. > PostgreSQL 7.2.x detects invalid multibyte character sequence, and > you are supposed to fix invalid char sequence before feeding them > to PostgreSQL if there is.

I tought I had read that PHP 4.x with the mbstring library installed will automatically convert and input ($_POST vars for example) into the correct internal encoding. Is this true? If this is true it seems not to be working for me. I have the following diagnostics: // The internal encoding is EUC-JP but the user input was not converted // automatically. I is still in SJIS! mb_internal_encoding() : EUC-JP $_POST["textfield"] : 111? ?????@????????1235 mb_detect_encoding() : SJIS // PHP has mb_http_input set to pass even though php.ini is // mbstring.http_input = auto and I compiled with // --enable-mbstring-enc-trans // also mb_convert_encoding says that my encoding is set to "pass" // but I compiled with --enable-mbstring-enc-trans! mb_detect_order() : ASCII, JIS, UTF-8, EUC-JP, SJIS mb_http_input() : FALSE mb_convert_variables say encoding is : pass mb_http_output() : pass Am I right in thinking that if I set the internal encoding then I shouldn't need to do any conversion before putting data into my DB (which only accepts EUC)? From the tests I have run it seems like PHP accepts the data and *keeps* it in it's original encoding ... Thank you for all you help!
