mysql_client_encoding
Returns the name of the character set
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_character_set_name
|
string mysql_client_encoding(resource link_identifier= =NULL);
Retrieves the character_set variable from
MySQL.
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.
Returns the default character set name for the current connection.
Example 6.4 mysql_client_encoding
example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
$charset = mysql_client_encoding($link);
echo "The current character set is: $charset\n";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
The current character set is: latin1
