Description:
------------
Hello,

now after 2 years, the same bug as in Bug #32557 still exists (and setting this to bogus in #32557 is just a bad joke. Maybe it is a "Won't fix", because you wont do the job).

The problem is just the very, very old MySQL-Client (3.23.49), which is used for compiling the MySQL extension in PHP4/Win.

And in PHP4/Win the extension is compiled in, and not a shared extension, so we (a Windows user) can't use an other (newer) extension in an easy way.

BTW:
In conclusion this sentence in the PHP-Manual [1] is not true for PHP4/Win:
> Although this MySQL extension is compatible with MySQL 4.1.0
> and greater. 

Regards,
Carsten

Reproduce code:
---------------
MySQL standard setup with:
default-character-set = utf8

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>


Expected result:
----------------
| D:\PHP>php test.php
| Connected successfully
| D:\PHP>


Actual result:
--------------
| D:\PHP>php test.php
| File 'c:\mysql\share\charsets\?.conf' not found (Errcode: 2)
| Character set '#33' is not a compiled character set and is not \
| specified in the 'c:\mysql\share\charsets\Index' file
| Connected successfully
| D:\PHP>

We are sorry, but we can not support PHP 4 related problems anymore.
Momentum is gathering for PHP 6, and we think supporting PHP 4 will
lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 6
ready.
