note 76165 added to function.mysql-client-encoding

I had the same problem as bartullus, I'm from Poland too. I had my base encoded in UTF-8 and my website in ISO-8859-2 aka Latin-2. Long time those fuckin' question marks appeared... I used this function mysql_client_encoding() but it shows "latin1" which appeared to be false. My solution was to include those two lines after connection to database in my PHP script: <? mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET latin2"); mysql_query("SET NAMES latin2"); ?> So, probably this function lies;) ---- Server IP: 82.160.108.140 Probable Submitter: 195.150.178.2 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-client-encoding.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76165 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76165/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76165/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76165/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76165/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76165/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76165/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76165 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76165 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
