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:


In my scripts I issue these commands on connect.  This seems to
resolve the problem for me.  I cannot change it in my.cnf since
changing the default from latin1 to utf8 would break previous sites.

SET NAMES 'utf8'
SET collation_connection = 'utf8_unicode_ci'
