Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. MYSQLI_SET_CHARSET_NAME was added for PHP 5.3, I've now backported this to the 5.2 branch.

BTW: I don't understand, why there is no MYSQLI_SET_CHARSET_NAME for mysqli->options()? Because that's the correct way, described in the MySQL C API. Regards, Carsten Reproduce code: --------------- ----- don't works ----- <?php $mysqli = mysqli_init(); $mysqli->set_charset('utf8'); echo 'Charset is: ', $mysqli->character_set_name(); $mysqli->real_connect('localhost','root','','test'); ?> ----- works ----- <?php $mysqli = mysqli_init(); $mysqli->real_connect('localhost','root','','test'); $mysqli->set_charset('utf8'); echo 'Charset is: ', $mysqli->character_set_name(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Charset is: utf8 Actual result: -------------- Warning: mysqli::set_charset() [function.mysqli-set-charset]: invalid object or resource mysqli in \test.php on line 4 Charset is: Warning: mysqli::character_set_name() [function.mysqli-character-set-name]: invalid object or resource mysqli in \test.php on line 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42902&edit=1
