I'm using PostgreSQL as my database. The database's encoding is UTF8, and the locale is C. When I try to insert the above strings into a VARCHAR column, I get errors similar to the following: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding UTF8: 0xf36e696f ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding UTF8: 0xc56c ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding UTF8: 0xe36f2c Now, I believe I can solve the problem by changing the client_encoding of my postgresql client (Right now, it is set to UTF8). However, I'm trying to figure out what encoding the GeoIP function is returning to me so that I can set the client_encoding appropriately. Is it LATIN1? How can I figure it out? And can I change it to UTF8? The hex sequences are consistent with ISO-8859-1 (aka latin1).

When I look up an IP address, the geoip_record_by_name() function is giving me a string that contains special characters, such as the following: The PECL GeoIP page links to http://www.maxmind.com/, and a search for charset reveals the following: http://forum.maxmind.com/viewtopic.php?p=2031highlight= quote the binary database return the cityname in iso-8859-1 by default. I guess your output is in a different charset. The CAPI based wrappers have a set_charset method. If you use any other API, use the language charset encoding to transform iso-8859-1 into the desired output format. for php you might use: Code: $city = mb_convert_encoding( $old_city, 'UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1'); or Code: $city = utf8_encode ( $oold_city ) /quote /Nisse -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
