Suggested alternatives
Use of this extension is discouraged. 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()
- PDO: Add charset to the connection string, such as charset=utf8
$charset
[, resource $link_identifier
= NULL
] )Sets the default character set for the current connection.

link_identifier
MySQL
连接。如不指定连接标识,则使用由 mysql_connect()
最近打开的连接。如果没有找到该连接,会尝试不带参数调用
mysql_connect()
来创建。如没有找到连接或无法建立连接,则会生成
E_WARNING
级别的错误。
成功时返回 TRUE
, 或者在失败时返回 FALSE
.
Note:
This function requires MySQL 5.0.7 or later.
Note:
This is the preferred way to change the charset. Using mysql_query() to set it (such as SET NAMES utf8) is not recommended. See the MySQL character set concepts section for more information.
