mysql_set_charset

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.3)

mysql_set_charset — Sets the client character set

Description

bool mysql_set_charset ( string $charset [, resource $link_identifier ] )

Sets the default character set for the current connection.

Parameters

charset

A valid character set name.

link_identifier

The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect() was called with no arguments. If by chance no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Notes

Note: This function requires MySQL 5.0.7 or later.

Note: This is the preferred way to change the charset. Using mysql_query() to execute SET NAMES .. is not reccomended.
