I don't know the exact asnwer (perhaps I've not clearly understood what you want), but: there is several PHP extensions to deal with converting files between various coded character sets and surface encodings : 1. iconv http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.iconv.php 2. recode http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.recode.php 3. multibyte http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php you can also set your client encoding in PHP with pg_set_client_encoding() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-set-client-encoding.php and maybe you can pass some encoding information in the options argument during connection. I'm not sure about this one. hope this helps, Papp Gyozo - pgerzson@xxxxxxxxxxxx > Hi! > > I have the database with win1251 encoding. My web site use koi8 > encoding.
