This is a PHP mailing list, not a phpMyAdmin or MySQL ... (just needed
to get that off my chest)

That's the Character Set / Collation for the MySQL client I imagine.

Leave it latin1_swedish_ci , unless you know your database is using
UTF-8, or something else. MySQL defaults .to latin1 / latin1_swedish_ci,
if you start seeing question marks in data you retrieve from the
database, that would be an indication that you're using the wrong
character set.
