Sorry,I can't modify the bug id 5341
repost in details

==================================================
Version Affected : both 3.0.16 & 4.0.1 & 4.0.1pl2
Oracle version : 8.1.5
OS : Solaris 2.6 105181-20
WEB server : NES 3.6
NLS_LANG=ZHS16CGB231280


PHP can't work fine with chinese string in the query, both insert and select.It seems that
PHP trunck the 8bit chinese text string to 7bit ascii text.The cgi program  set the
NLS_LANG parametre the sam as db server.
But sqlplus work well.

attention: there are some chinese text,you must have some software that can display it.

---------------------------------------------------------------- 


analysis: 

---------------------------------------------------------------- 
The character set of oracle is simplified chinese,
There is no problem when manipulating database with sqlplus,
The problem is the interface with php and oracle.

$ oerr ora 24365 
24365, 00000, "error in character conversion" 
// *Cause:  This usually occurs during conversion of a multibyte 
//          character data when the source data is abnormally terminat 
ed 
//          in the middle of a multibyte character. 
// *Action: Make sure that all multibyte character data is properly te 
rminated. 
$                                                                      
          
Without the second error message,the first will not display,
but the data it insert into the database is asccii ,too.
