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'. Best, Vladislav Bogdanov ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44118&edit=1
