Hi, i'm having a bit of a headache with PHP and MySQL, i've some questions:
1) I've a database in UTF-8 and when i connect to it with mysql_connect,
and exec a query with mysql_query, the results are in latin1. (i proved
this with mysql_query("show variables like 'char%'");
2) Is there any way to force mysql to make connections in utf8?
here is the mysql status command report:
-----[*code*]-----

I use FC5 and a fresh mysql install, the default encoding is in latin1.
As you can see i setup all charsets are in UTF-8. And, even with this,
PHP still connects to the DB in latin1.
I don't know what else to do..
I don't want to do a mysql_query("set names utf8") at the beginning when
somebody opens the page because it a site with >100k hits per second
(that menas >200k qps).
There must be a solution.
Thanks!
