Need help with charset

[Tomasz Bukłaho]

Hello, i have a problem with retriving resaults from mysql to php in the correct character set.
I'm using latin2 charset, i've added default-charset to mysql config, and with the command line i did this:
SET character_set_client = latin2;
SET character_set_results = latin1; // if i set here latin2, select gives resault with wrong characters
SET character_set_connection = latin2;
The 'status' command show in every row of (...) charset: latin2, but when i use this to test php:
$charset = mysqli_character_set_name( $my_connection );
printf( "Current charset is %s\n", $charset );
it shows 'latin1_swedish_ci'.
I have no idea what is going on and what can i do more to fix this.
I'm looking forward for some replies.
Thans, Thomas
