This works fine with PHP 5.2.x but not with PHP 5.3.0. "db" => array( 'adapter' => 'pdo_mysql', "params" => array( "host" => 'localhost', "username" => 'user', "password" => 'xxxxxxx', 'dbname' => 'dbtest' 'charset' => 'utf8' ), "isDefaultTableAdapter" => true ) Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND' in C:\lib\php\ZendFramework\library\Zend\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Mysql.php on line 93 91 if (!empty($this->_config['charset'])) { 92 $initCommand = "SET NAMES '" . $this->_config['charset'] . "'"; 93 $this->_config['driver_options'][PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND] = $initCommand; 94 } Cheers, holo
