Annoying Character Set Error

[Ken Meyering]

I've just installed PHP 4.4.2 and MySQL 5 on a Windows XP development machine.

I've installed a sample php script to download a blob file from a database.

Although everything seems to work correctly, I am getting the following error:

"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"

In my.ini I have the following variables set:

default-character-set=utf8
datadir="C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.0/Data/"

I've Googled this error and many people have encountered it, but there has been no solution posted.

Any help would be appreciated!

Here's the PHP file 'download.php'

<?php
if(isset($_GET['id']))
{
// if id is set then get the file with the id from database

// This is an example of config.php
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = '{password}';
$dbname = 'upload';


// This is an example opendb.php
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql');
mysql_select_db($dbname);
$id = $_GET['id'];
$query = "SELECT name, type, size, content " .
"FROM upload WHERE id = '$id'";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');
list($name, $type, $size, $content) = mysql_fetch_array($result);

header("Content-length: $size");
header("Content-type: $type");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
echo $content;

mysql_close($conn);

exit;
}
