 Posted: Tue Dec 11, 2012 1:53 pm Post subject: php.ini mysql.connect_charset |
 |
|
After upgrading from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3.15
the php.ini directive : "mysql.connect_charset = latin1" seems to be broken.
How can the old behaviour being restored?
I suppose you could use
mysql_query('SET NAMES latin1;');
But I don't want - I can not - make changes to the existing php-code.
Regards,
Natan
same applies for:
mysqli.connect_charset = latin1
pdo_mysql.connect_charset = latin1 |

What do you mean by "is broken"? Are there error messages, or do you just experience messed up strings?
If you have access to the mysql configuration (/etc/my.cnf), you might try to set latin1 as default charset there.

it seems the mysql.connect_charset php.ini directive doesn't exist anymore
output phpinfo() PHP 5.2.17
| Code: | Directive Local Value Master Value
mysql.allow_persistent On On
mysql.connect_charset latin1 latin1
mysql.connect_timeout 60 60
mysql.default_host no value no value
mysql.default_password no value no value
mysql.default_port no value no value
mysql.default_socket no value no value
mysql.default_user no value no value
mysql.max_links Unlimited Unlimited
mysql.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited
mysql.trace_mode Off Off

There are no error messages, only messed up strings.

yes, I have access to /etc/my.cnf
latin1 was already defined as default charset.
| Code: | [mysqld]
character-set-server = latin1
character_set_client = latin1
default-character-set = latin1
|
Is there some info on why mysql.connect_charset disappeared ?
How to adjust settings to regain previous behaviour ?
Thanks,
Natan |

https://www.google.de/search?q="mysql.connect_charset"+"php+5.3"
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44118
This appears to be a known bug which they are reluctant to fix.
I understand that it's hard to patch legacy code ... but if I were in your place, I'd simply put that "SET NAMES" command directly into your DB component, right after the mysql_connect() stuff. So you just need to make one change. Plus, your code will become more portable, as you don't rely on a local configuration setting.

thanks lgx, but I need a server-wide solution
To make all the queries use the SET NAMES parameter is a real pain...
I tried adding this in my.cnf
| Code: | [mysqld]
init_connect='SET NAMES latin1' |
without success.
any suggestions?
Thanks,
Natan |

correction.
adding
| Code: | [mysqld]
init_connect='SET NAMES latin1' |
into my.cnf does solve the problem. |
