Hello all,
I have been checking some update information regarding the newer version of mysql.
As I have been using:
mysql_query("SET
character_set_results = 'utf8',
character_set_client = 'utf8',
character_set_connection = 'utf8',
character_set_database = 'utf8',
character_set_server = 'utf8'", $link);
mysql_set_charset('utf8',$link);
I noticed in http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-set-charset.php that mysql_set_charset will be deprecated as of PHP 5.5.
My question is whether it is better to use the mysql_query set as above or to code it this way
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'");
?
Also, is there an underscore version of
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'UTF8'");
?
