How to define the use of utf-8 in Doctrine 2 in Zend Framework application.ini, when using Bisna

Question

The following ZendCasts cast, shows a way to use doctrine 2 in a zend framework environment.
Using this configuration, how can I make the connection use a utf-8 charset

Answer 1

Since this is for Doctrine 2, and ZendCasts is using Bisna, I believe you can just add this to your configuration.ini file

resources.doctrine.dbal.connections.default.parameters.driverOptions.charset = "utf8"

I'm not exactly sure how to test if it is sticking or not but let us know.
