Did anyone of you experience problems during initialization of your database connection?
I'm working with yii 1.0.6, started on my windows machine (latest XAMPP) where everything went fine. Then I moved my application to the server (MySQL-Version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch8) where I came accross some errors. I tracked it down to CDbConnection::initConnection, where the following throws an exception:
<?php
$stmt=$pdo->prepare('SET NAMES ?');
$stmt->execute(array($this->charset));
?>
If I change the code to
<?php
$pdo->exec("SET NAMES '{$this->charset}'");
?>
It works as expected (well, at least it doesn't crash).
