mysql_set_charsetSets the client 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
|
PDO: Add charset to the connection string, such as charset=utf8
|
Description
bool mysql_set_charset(string charset,
resource link_identifier= =NULL);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_connectis assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as ifmysql_connectwas called with no arguments. If no connection is found or established, anE_WARNINGlevel error is generated.
Return Values
Returns
TRUE
on success or
FALSE
on failure.
Notes
This function requires MySQL 5.0.7 or later.
This is the preferred way to change the charset. Using
mysql_query
to set it (such as SET NAMES utf8) is not
recommended. See the
MySQL
character set concepts section for more information.
