PHP Manual: pg_client

Description

function pg_client_encoding(?PgSql\Connection $connection = null): string

PostgreSQL supports automatic character set conversion between server and client for certain character sets. pg_client_encoding() returns the client encoding as a string. The returned string will be one of the standard PostgreSQL encoding identifiers.

Note:
If libpq is compiled without multibyte encoding support, pg_client_encoding() always returns SQL_ASCII. Supported encoding depends on PostgreSQL version. Refer to the PostgreSQL Documentation supported encodings.

The function used to be called pg_clientencoding().

Parameters

connection

An PgSql\Connection instance. When connection is null, the default connection is used. The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().

Warning

As of PHP 8.1.0, using the default connection is deprecated.

Return Values

The client encoding.

Changelog
