Another parameter,
$cfg['RecodingEngine']
, specifies the actual recoding engine,
the choices being
auto
,
iconv
, and
recode
. If it is set to
auto
, phpMyAdmin will
first try the
iconv
module, and then the
recode
module.
Character Sets
When it is connected to a pre-MySQL 4.1.x server, phpMyAdmin has limited
support for character set conversion. Currently we can specify which character set
applies to a query and its results. The character set used by default is defined by the
following parameter.
$cfg['DefaultCharset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
This is only the default choice; users may always select another character set from
the choices listed in this parameter (the actual parameter in
config.inc.php
contains more):
$cfg['AvailableCharsets'] = array(
'iso-8859-1',
'iso-8859-2',
'iso-8859-3',
'iso-8859-4');
These choices are displayed to users in the same order as that defined in the
parameter
$cfg['AvailableCharsets']
, so, we can move the more popular choices
to the top. Any character set supported by the
iconv
or
recode
recoding engines
may be used.
If we are using phpMyAdmin 2.6.0 or newer, and
$cfg['AllowAnywhereRecoding'
]
has been left set to its default value
FALSE
, we will see the following on the
