Hi, I've attached a patch, that will allow people to be able to change the client default encoding type, as this was not possible before. I looked through the php mysql client source, and found no traces of something that could actually set the default client encoding type. basically mysql_options(&myHadle, MYSQL_SET_CHARSET_NAME, "utf8"); or whatever charset you choose. It reads the option from the php.ini file, which I've also patched to include the line required, but is commented by default. When it's commented, it falls back to the mysql client library default of latin1. I've read a few forums, and this is apparently a common problem, and I just thought I'd lend a hand to help you guys out. I'm sure you get inundated with stuff like this all the time. Anyway. Take a look at the patch, it's really simple, but it helped us out as a company quite a lot. (www.complinet.com) I hope it helps. Thanks Daine Mamacos.
