Greek/PHP/PostgreSQL

Hello all. I'm trying to pass Greek chars from an html form to
postgresql. I've got the DB unicode encoded and I've tried utf8_encode()
the vars.

Is there another step I've missed? I'm really not sure what other info
to post, as I'm new to the whole non-English scene.

Thanks much.

John

Re:

You can also use insert into checking () values
('whatever', 'values', 'here');

That's what I do...

Re:

Ok I figured it out... I wasn't sending data to all of the columns, just
some. I had some other columns called check_pre_balance and
check_post_balance. When I entered data for those columns it went through.
The reason I didn't enter data for those columns is because I haven't worked
on the SQL command to update the pre and post balances yet and was doing
some testing first. Ok, well thanks for the replies everyone :)

POST_VARS should always be strings. Have you tried this without the php,
as in psql. What happens when you replace, in the insert statement,
$check_trans_type, with a correct value? Is it supposed to be like
withdrawl, deposit...etc?
Good luck
