Sorry, my bad, confused names,  SET_CHARSET_DIR is the one i meant, but
that isn't exported, checking whether there's a reason or just 
oversight.

Please use $db->options(MYSQLI_SET_CHARSET_NAME,
'C:\\MySQL5.0\\share\\charsets'); to properly set the charset path.

All mysql extensions use the same library. Assigned back to "mysql" and
let them try to figure what's wrong here.

I found a solution to the problem.

The problem is related to php_mysqli.dll that comes with the PHP
installer package.



I downloaded another version of the DLL from MySQL website:

http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-PHP-mysqlnd/php_5.2.1-mysqlnd-5.0.1-beta.zip/from/pick



I replaced the "faulty" DLL (that came with the PHP installer package)
with the one I downloaded from MySQL website, then restarted the
webserver and the problem was gone.



I would recommend to check the php_mysqli.dll that comes with the PHP
installer package.

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).
