The sql_set_charset()
function requests the usage of the specified encoding for transactions between PHP and the database manager.
sql_set_charset()
accepts three parameters. Only the first is required:
-
$charset
is the requested charset, such as "utf8" -
$serveur
, -
$options
.
This function is called immediately after each connection to the database server in order to specify the charset to be employed. This encoding selection is defined elsewhere in the charset_sql_connexion
meta variable created during the installation of SPIP.
