I believe this should be reverted. Adding new functions to ext/mysqli is _completely_ pointless, especially taking into account that this function is just an alias for "SET NAMES xx" and already implemented int MySQLi. ext/mysql and ext/mysqli is like PHP4 and PHP5 - we can't keep adding new functions to ext/mysql, cause eventually it'll become ext/mysqli.

Log: Add mysql_set_charset() so that the connection encoding can be changed. This is similar to the SET NAMES statement but allows the mysql_real_escape_string to use the correct character set.
When and where was this discussed?
