Your server seems to be configured for UTF-8 by default. In my tests the behavior for both libraries (myslqnd& libmsql) is the same if you mind the character set (use SET NAMES etc.)

Yes, my server is set to UTF-8 in my.cnf: character-set-server = utf8

"MySQLnd always assumes the server default charset. This charset is sent during connection hand-shake/authentication, which mysqlnd will use. Libmysql uses the default charset set in the my.cnf or by an explicit call to mysqli_options() prior to calling mysqli_real_connect(), but after mysqli_init().", http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.construct.php

From the documentation exceprt, above, the test code in

https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60333 should be using the server's default character set under both mysqlnd and libmysql. So shouldn't they both come back with the same answer? Or am I misunderstanding something?

mysqlnd simply does not read MySQL server config. It defaults to actual connection of the server. Ulf
