note 72753 added to function.mysqli-connect

A quick word about the connection encoding for this
extension.  It doesn't appear to be documented anywhere that
I can find, but this defaults to latin1 encoding for the
connection, regardless of PHP's or MySQL's settings.  I run
in a completely UTF-8 setup, and spent days trying to
discover the cause of corrupted characters from the Db.  If,
like me, you need to work with other than latin1, use the
set_charset function/method to switch to your encoding of
choice.
