(PECL maxdb >= 1.0)
maxdb_character_set_name -- maxdb::character_set_name — Returns the default character set for the database connection
Procedural style
Object oriented style
Returns the current character set for the database connection specified by the link parameter.
The default character set for the current connection, either ascii or unicode.
Example #1 Object oriented style
<?php
/* Open a connection */
$maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
/* check connection */
if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());
exit();
}
/* Print current character set */
$charset = $maxdb->character_set_name();
printf ("Current character set is %s\n", $charset);
$maxdb->close();
?>
Example #2 Procedural style
<?php
$link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
/* check connection */
if (!$link) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());
exit();
}
/* Print current character set */
$charset = maxdb_character_set_name($link);
printf ("Current character set is %s\n",$charset);
/* close connection */
maxdb_close($link);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Current character set is ascii
