Description:
------------
There is no description for the function:
mysql_character_set_name

A full search on the php.net web site reveal that the 
function is mentionned in the description of 
mysql_real_escape_string() and in the change log of 
version 4.3.4.


More generaly, there is no documentation on how to 
manipulate the character set used for the MySQL 
connection. The only possible operation on the 
character set is to retreive it with 
mysql_client_encoding().

PHP function mysql_client_encoding() is wrapper for MySQL function mysql_character_set_name(). There is a mistake in the changelog.

You can set some kind of charset translation by MySQL command SET CHARACTER SET but as far as I know there's no way to change the character set for connection. Only way is to set it in my.cnf.
