#44118 [NEW]: Set connection charset via php.ini option

From: slava_reg at nsys dot by Operating system: any PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: MySQL related Bug description: Set connection charset via php.ini option Description: ------------ Hi, As I'm tired of patching various user-installed php-engines to work correctly with newer MySQL versions (4.1.x +) that require connection character set to be specified, I decided to solve the problem at the php level. So, I patched both mysql and mysqli extensions (based on an idea found somewhere in internet). Result is available at: http://bubble.nsys.by/projects/patches/php/php-5.2.5-mysql-client-charset.patch The patch introduces two more php.ini directives: mysql.client_charset and mysqli.client_charset As those directives are optional, the patch shouldn't break any existing functionality, but it could *really* help users who's native language is not latin and who want to use some php-scripted engine with mysql 'out-of-the-box'.
