mysql_client_encoding
Returns the name of the character set
This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:
mysqli_character_set_name

Description
string mysql_client_encoding(resource link_identifier= =NULL);
Retrieves the character_set variable from
MySQL.
Parameters
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 no connection is found
or established, an
E_WARNING
level error is generated.
Return Values
Returns the default character set name for the current connection.
Examples
Example 2.4. mysql_client_encoding
example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
$charset = mysql_client_encoding($link);
echo "The current character set is: $charset\n";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
The current character set is: latin1
