Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-27 08:37:54] joustin at post dot pl Thanks for solution, though this really needs proper documenting. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysqli-set-charset.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-26 21:18:55] georg@php.net PHP can't provide actual binaries for MySQL 4.1, 5.0 (and 5.1 soon). Please download the version you need from the MySQL website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-26 16:55:45] kleef84 at hotmail dot com You can download the latest mysql connector for PHP5 from the mysql site at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
