note 68300 added to function.mysql-client-encoding

A very easy way to always get results in UTF-8 is to make a common function to connect to DB and in that function set character set to utf-8. function OpenConn() { global $link; $link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "username", "password") or die(sendError('Could not connect to DB')); mysql_select_db ("dbName"); // // Set character set to UTF-8 // mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'", $link); } ---- Server IP: 129.16.214.50 Probable Submitter: 81.170.211.84 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-client-encoding.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68300 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68300/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68300/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68300/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68300/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68300/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68300/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68300 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68300 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
