pg_set_client_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
-
An PgSql\Connection instance. When connection is unspecified, the default connection is used. The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect or pg_pconnect.
Warning:
As of PHP 8.1.0, using the default connection is deprecated.
- 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.
Return Values
Returns 0 on success or -1 on error.
