Hi all,
I thought that the new options char_set and dbcollat in the DB config allow one to set what the connection's charset and collation are, unlike CI < 1.6, where I had to do this manually in system/database/DB.php, towards the bottom:
Code:
// Instantiate the DB adapter
$driver = 'CI_DB_'.$params['dbdriver'].'_driver';
$DB =& new $driver($params);
$DB->query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
return $DB;
However, when I upgraded, my UTF8 characters seem like garbage, and I still had to run that query to get it done properly.
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks for any input
