my problem is that when i set my --default-character-set on utf8 my db server (mysql) starts its service successfully but when i connect to it with php built-in functions to my db, it took an error(errno : 22) in connection and says that this character set is not in my share directory.but when i set default-character-set to latin1 , it connects successfully.

Hi,

I think this is a duplicate of this bug:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=4127

If you download and install the no-installer zip for windows you should be OK.
Just unzip it into c:/mysql/

Best Regards
