Serendipity MySQL 4.1 tweaks

well we just discovered yesterday that our blogs aren’t working for chinese characters! this is a big problem… and it
was due to our system setups… i spent today almost 7 hours to find out what was the problem and to fix it…

finally, just insert the following 2 lines in include/db/mysql.inc.php

mysql_query(’SET NAMES gb2312;’, $serendipity[’dbConn’]);
mysql_query(’SET collation_connection = \’gb2312_chinese_ci\’;', $serendipity[’dbConn’]);
