#36863 [Com]: No set_charset method despite libmysql 5.0.18 and php 5.1.2

ID: 36863 Comment by: kleef84 at hotmail dot com Reported By: joustin at post dot pl Status: Open Bug Type: MySQLi related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: You can download the latest mysql connector for PHP5 from the mysql site at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/ Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-26 13:57:38] joustin at post dot pl So what does the following refer to? Note: To use this function on a Windows platform you need MySQL client library version 4.1.11 or above (for MySQL 5.0 you need 5.0.6 or above) http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-set-charset.php Are you suggesting it's impossible to get mysql5 support in php5 for win32 unless re-compiled ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-26 13:48:37] tony2001@php.net You can change the library as many times as you want, but the function will not appear magically because the .dll was compiled against older library. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-26 13:27:18] joustin at post dot pl Tried newest build: PHP 5.1.3RC2-dev (cli) (built: Mar 26 2006 12:18:57) ... and no effect. Btw: the mysql server is also ver 5.0.18, win32 build on dedicated win2003 server. Tried with 5.1.2 php on linux, also mysqli with Client API version => 5.0.18. Working flawlessly! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-26 13:18:16] joustin at post dot pl On win32 PHP it all depends on libmysql.dll (taken from php dir or env) and php_mysqli.dll extension. Changing libmysql.dll changes the "Client API version" reported by phpinfo(). Checked against other Mysql 5.x specific functions. See man for set_charset() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-26 13:07:26] tony2001@php.net It doesn't depend on the version you have installed, it depends on the version it was built against. AFAIK 4.x is used for Windows builds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
