From: roleroz at gmail dot com Operating system: Gentoo Linux PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Default Charset problem for MySQL Description: ------------ At the documentation it says that the default charset for mysql is latin, but in my system that doesn't seem to be right. After checking lots of posibilities, i set the mysql.connect_charset variable, at php.ini, to latin1, and my code finally worked It seems that the default charset for mysql functions in php 5.2.1 running over apache2 it's utf8 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41168&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41168&r=mysqlcfg
