I've enabled mysqlnd on my PHP 5.4.26 server using MariaDB 10.0.8.
My SQL config contained this:
[mysqlnd]
character-set-server = utf8
collation-server = utf8_general_ci
It was all working fine when no mysqlnd was enabled. Since enabling it all special polish UTF-8 characters gone missing.
When I disable these two lines in server.cnf config all is working well again.
Since I don't like latin-1 encoding and I would like to keep UTF-8 I have a question does mysqlnd got UTF-8 by default and there is not need for these options ?
It seems these two lines are no longer needed ;)
