[PHP-DB] Unicode error with PostgreSQL

[Tony Grimes]

I'm getting the following error when PHP tries to insert a Unicode character
(the problem word is resume with the accents) into a PostgreSQL database:

pg_exec(): Query failed: ERROR:  Invalid UNICODE character sequence found
(0xe97375)

I can't figure out why I'm getting the error. The HTML form is utf-8 and the
database is UNICODE, but I'm still getting the error. Is there some problem
with the PHP library? Is there a PHP setting that controls character
encoding within scripts? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Tony

So does that mean I will always get that error? There's got to be a way
around that. Is there at least a way to detect invalid characters before I
try to insert?

Hi Tony
You can use the multibyte aware string functions for processing.  There
is also a way to make it use UTF-8 encoding, but I forget how just now. 
I had the same problem with a MySQL db a while back.
