#26681 [Opn->Bgs]: no documentation for mysql_character_set_name function

ID: 26681 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: philippe_peirano at yahoo dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: MacOS X 10.2 PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: PHP function mysql_client_encoding() is wrapper for MySQL function mysql_character_set_name(). There is a mistake in the changelog. You can set some kind of charset translation by MySQL command SET CHARACTER SET but as far as I know there's no way to change the character set for connection. Only way is to set it in my.cnf. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-20 17:57:25] philippe_peirano at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ There is no description for the function: mysql_character_set_name A full search on the php.net web site reveal that the function is mentionned in the description of mysql_real_escape_string() and in the change log of version 4.3.4. More generaly, there is no documentation on how to manipulate the character set used for the MySQL connection. The only possible operation on the character set is to retreive it with mysql_client_encoding(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26681&edit=1
