Re: Bad encoded chars in being inserted into database

Postgresql version: 8.1.13 (8.1.13-0etch1)
database encoding: UTF-8.
client_encoding: default, that is, it's no set at php level.

However, pg_client_encoding returns "UTF8" as client encoding.

Thank you, Gabriele.

Could you please tell us which PostgreSQL version you are currently
using? Also it would be useful to know:

* which is your database encoding?
* which is the client_encoding setting you are using?

In general, what you are saying suggests me that you are using the
SQL_ASCII encoding at some stage in your session (either on the server
side or the client side).

However, before I go on, please answer the above questions.

Thanks,
Gabriele
