Hello internals, Attached is a patch against PHP_4_4 allowing to specify a charset when talking to MySQL using ext/mysql and client libraries that come with MySQL >= 4.1.13 (the default being utf8). This was mainly tested with latin1. To test, add an ini entry like this: mysql.default_charset = "latin1" Any constructive comments on the patch would be appreciated.IIRC such patch has been already discussed and rejected. Also, PHP 4.x is bugfix branch and NO new features will be added there. In 5.x there is ext/mysqli, which have much more functionality than ext/mysql and you should be using it instead. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
