Edit Question
Title
Body
I often see something similar to this below in PHP scripts using MySQL query("SET NAMES utf8"); I have never had to do this for any project yet so I have a couple basic questions about it. Is this something that is done with PDO only? If it is not a PDO specific thing, then what is the purpose of doing it? I realize it is setting the encoding for mysql but I mean, I have never had to use it so why would I want to use it?
