int pg_set_client_encoding ( string encoding ) int pg_set_client_encoding ( resource connection, string encoding )
pg_set_client_encoding() sets the client
encoding and returns 0 if success or -1 if error.
PostgreSQL will automatically convert data in the backend database
encoding into the frontend encoding.
Note:
The function used to be called
pg_setclientencoding().
Parameters
connection
PostgreSQL database connection resource. When
connection is not present, the default connection
is used. The default connection is the last connection made by
pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().
encoding
The required client encoding. One of SQL_ASCII, EUC_JP,
EUC_CN, EUC_KR, EUC_TW,
UNICODE, MULE_INTERNAL, LATINX (X=1...9),
KOI8, WIN, ALT, SJIS,
BIG5 or WIN1250.
The exact list of available encodings depends on your PostgreSQL version, so check your
PostgreSQL manual for a more specific list.
// Set the client encoding to UNICODE. Data will be automatically // converted from the backend encoding to the frontend. pg_set_client_encoding($conn, UNICODE);
$result = pg_query($conn, "SELECT author, email FROM authors"); if (!$result) { echo "An error occured.\n"; exit; }
// Write out UTF-8 data while ($row = pg_fetch_row($result)) { echo "Author: $row[0] E-mail: $row[1]"; echo "<br />\n"; }
