CI 1.6 - MySQL "SET NAMES" on MySQL 4.0.17

Hi MikeD,

I use CI very often for customers with the most different server settings. I found this issue on a customers server with IIS and MySQL 4.0. The application running on this server is very basic, so I just use some active record methods to UPDATE, INSERT and SELECT some basic data. I don't do any JOINS or some weird rstuff and so the SET NAMES issue was the only thing (related to MySQL) I found in this project. The website is online and productive now and I did not experience any other problems (except for memory limitations, write permission issues and PHP inheritance bugs).

I would really suggest to make this little change (as it would be only one line to change). It took me about a hour to find this problem, so with a little change others could save this hour

Regards,
MaDe
