I can't show the exact query because it is generated by PHP. I can
however show you the code that generates the query:
$words = $_GET["words"];
$sql = "select id from products where name like '$words'";
$conn = pg_connect("host=$DB_IP port=5432 dbname=$DB_NAME user=postgres");
$res = pg_query($conn, $sql);
The GET query string was:
words=%8f%ac%90%ec%96%be%93%fa%8d%81
I think that PHP does some internal translation of this before passing
it on though.

Yes.

That I don't know.

Ah ... so it is not an EUC-JP string but an SJIS string. Postgres was
right. That answers my question. Thanks!

According to a PHP developer in my bug report
(http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24309&edit=2):
"URL decoded byte sequance of 'search_words=%B7%F6%BA%7E' is
B7E6+BA7E, which is correct EUC-JP character sequence. [snip] But, I
believe encoding detection of mbstring works fine in this case.
B7E6+BA7E is not correct byte sequence of SJIS, UTF-8, ISO2022-JP. It is
correct EUC-JP byte sequence."
I see that he wrote B7E6 instead of the correct B7F6. I resubmitted my
bug report to PHP and pointed this out. Hopefully the developer will see
that this sequence is incorrect EUC-JP and that PHP failed to detect this :)
I *knew* there was nothing wrong with Postgres ;)
Thanks!

PS I posted to HACKERS a few weeks ago about another bug (a real one :)
in the EUC-JP translation having to do with the WAVE DASH. I'll repost
here on the BUGS list, could you let me know the status of that BUG? Thanks!
