AMFPHP and MySQL character set

sephiroth.it: Flash send and expects data from and to the outside world using unicode UTF-8 (see technote). The gateway.php file in AMFPHP folder is the bridge between your flash .swf file and your service php class.

You need to choose right parameters for the setCharsetHandler method to match your MySQL(server) and AMFPHP service class (client) environment.

You may also want to change client charset in your service PHP class:

mysql_set_charset() - Sets the client character set
mysql_client_encoding() - Returns the name of the character set
