    <p><a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-set-charset.php" rel="noreferrer"><code>mysql_set_charset()</code></a> would be an option - but an option limited to the <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.mysql.php" rel="noreferrer"><code>ext/mysql</code></a>. For <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php" rel="noreferrer"><code>ext/mysqli</code></a> it is <a href="http://php.net/manual/mysqli.set-charset.php" rel="noreferrer"><code>mysqli_set_charset</code></a> and for <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php" rel="noreferrer"><code>PDO</code></a><code>::mysql</code> you need to specify a connection parameter.</p> <p>As using this function results in a MySQL API call, it should be considered much faster than issuing a query.</p> <p>In respect of performance the fastest way to ensure a UTF-8-based communiction between your script and the MySQL server is setting up the MySQL server correctly. As <code>SET NAMES x</code> is <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/charset-connection.html" rel="noreferrer">equivalent</a> to </p> <pre><code>SET character_set_client = x; SET character_set_results = x; SET character_set_connection = x; </code></pre> <p>whereas <code>SET character_set_connection = x</code> internally also executes <code>SET collation_connection = &lt;&lt;default_collation_of_character_set_x&gt;&gt;</code> you can also set <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html" rel="noreferrer">these server variables</a> statically in your <code>my.ini/cnf</code>.</p> <p>Please be aware of possible problems with other applications running on the same MySQL server instance and requiring some other character set.</p>

    1. COAs of PHP 5.0.5, there is a method in mysqli: http://php.net/mysqli_set_charset

    2. COI mentioned `mysql_set_charset()` - that's a function included in the old `ext/mysql`. As stated above, neither `PDO` nor `ext/mysqli` provide any support for this operation directly.

    3. COSeems the link I posted isn't reliable. Here's a better one: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.set-charset.php Not sure how you mean mysqli doesn't support this operation.

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
