I'm willing to bet that you script and/or the string your trying to
stuff into the DB is not encoded with the same charset. this
causes problems with anything other than those chars found in the ASCII
range (pardon my terminology).

you can try a number of things:

1. specify the charset in the ibase_connect() function (as Lester mentioned)
2. use iconv() to translate the string into the win1251 charset before stuffing
it into the database.
3. recreate your database using a charset that matches whatever is used by
your scripts.
