Bug Type: MySQLi related
Operating System: Windows XP/SP3
PHP Version: 5.2.6
New Comment:
I just wanted to add another comment.
I called the following queries via PHP using MySQLi:
1) show character set
2) show variables like "%character%"
Surprisingly, I got exactly the same results as via "mysql" client.
So, the problem seems to be related to the mysqli::set_charset(). I
could not find anywhere in "php.ini" or "my.ini" (MySQL) that path
defined ("C:\mysql\\share\charsets\").
My guess is that the path "C:\mysql\\share\charsets\" is hardcoded
within the method in the MySQLi library (php_mysqli.dll).

As I stated in the original message the SET NAMES actually works fine
as a workaround (no error and the character set is changed to
"hebrew").
As for the list of available character sets:

The character set "hebrew" is there.
As for your last request, the "my.ini" does not include any statement
regarding the "character_sets_dir".
Adding it as advised in MySQL documentation does not help in this case.

IIRC, the SET NAMES doesn't actually do anything with Mysql 5.0 on
client side..I might be wrong though. :)
Check that you really have it, run this in the mysql client:
mysql> SHOW CHARACTER SET;
And check your mysql config (my.cnf or whatever it's called in win32)
that it has the proper path for the charsets. It should be in [mysql]
section. (mysql manual might help? :)

I un-installed PHP, downloaded the PHP installer again from another
mirror and installed again.
However, the version of the client was still 5.0.51a (and I am still
encountering the same problem).
Please, advise whether I am missing something.

You are right.
phpinfo() shows the following in MySQLi section:
MysqlI Support enabled
Client API library version 5.0.51a
Client API header version 5.0.51a
MYSQLI_SOCKET /tmp/mysql.sock
However, I downloaded the library along with the PHP installer from the
following location:
http://il2.php.net/get/php-5.2.6-win32-installer.msi/from/a/mirror
I will try to download it again, re-install and then check whether the
version was updated.

Do you by any chance have two different mysql versions installed?
What does phpinfo() have to say in the MySQLi section about which
client lib version is used..?
