mysql_set_charset — Sets the client character set

Warning

This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:

mysqli_set_charset()
PDO: Add charset to the connection string, such as charset=utf8

Description

mysql_set_charset ( string $charset [, resource $link_identifier = NULL ] ) : bool

Sets the default character set for the current connection.

Parameters

charset: A valid character set name.
link_identifier: The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect() is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect() had been called with no arguments. If no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.

Notes

Note:
This function requires MySQL 5.0.7 or later.

Note:
This is the preferred way to change the charset. Using mysql_query() to set it (such as SET NAMES utf8) is not recommended. See the MySQL character set concepts section for more information.
