PHP+MySQL charset problem

Good day all! Please help me with charset. I have some strange trouble. I use FreeBSD 4.2 STABLE and MySQL 3.23.28-gamma (compiled from FreeBSD ports) and PHP 4.04. Latin1 is a default charset in MySQL. So, I wanted to add cp1251 or koi8_ru. Ok, I add --default-character-set=cp1251 to my mysql start-up script. The problem is: If I connect from console to mysql and type \s (to get status information) it shows: Language: cp1251 Everything seems OK, but if I try to connect via phpMyAdmin 2.1.0 or Horde 1.2.3+Imp 2.2.3 (webmail implementation) it returns - <<For phpMyAdmin>> Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't initialize character set 14 (path: default) in /usr/local/www/htdocs/adm/lib.inc.php on line 255 Error <<For Horde>> Warning: Can't initialize character set 14 (path: default) in /usr/local/lib/phplib/db_mysql.inc on line 73 I don't know where is my mistake? I tried to contact MySQL mailing list - thay said this problem has nothing to do with MySQL. I do have sql/share/charsets folder with Index and cp1251.conf. I checked Index - records are OK. Should I add something to /usr/local/lib/php.ini file? Looking forward to hear from you. Regards, Roman
