Connecting to Sphinx using PDO

Question

I am trying to connect to Sphinx with PDO, and it isn't working, I am getting this error:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2054] Server sent charset unknown to the client. Please, report to the developers

Here is how I am connecting:

$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=xxxxxx;port=9306;", "", "");

I used to be doing it with normal mysql and that used to work, but now it isn't working for some reason.

This used to work (now it doesn't and it doesn't even give an error):

$sql = mysql_connect("xxxxxx:9306", "", "");

Answer 1

Okay, I fixed it.

What I did was downgrade php from 5.4.11 to 5.4.3
