Hi all, I really need your help asap, I have to change a website from mysql to postgres but this site is in spanish and Postgres is returning the error: PostgreSQL said: ERROR: Unicode >= 0x10000 is not supoorted This is everytime I try to insert the characters ñ, á, é, etc. Do I need a special config for postgres?? can I solve it with php?? Your database is encoded in unicode, so you must use utf8_encode() when you insert data in the database and utf8_decode() when you want to display them.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-encode.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php What I do, and seems to work fine, is encoding the whole query like this: $sQry = "INSERT INTO table (iid, sdata) VALUES (1, 'string with ñ, á, é, etc');"; pg_query($conn, utf8_encode($sQry));
