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
