pg_set_client_encoding — Set the client encoding
pg_set_client_encoding() sets the client encoding and returns 0 if success or -1 if error.
PostgreSQL will automatically convert data in the backend database encoding into the frontend encoding.
Note:
The function used to be called pg_setclientencoding().
connection
An PgSql\Connection instance.
When connection
is unspecified, the default connection is used.
The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect()
or pg_pconnect().
As of PHP 8.1.0, using the default connection is deprecated.
