phpmyadmin server variables and session values
<p>I'm going to use <code>utf8mb4</code>. Also some of my variables must be utf8mb4 that mentioned <a href="https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/mysql-utf8mb4" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I set them from phpmyadmin <code>Variables</code> menu. But some of changes to utf8mb4 but it's <strong>session value</strong> is still <code>uft8</code>.</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rrDpl.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rrDpl.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>And when I run this command:</p>

<pre><code>SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name LIKE  'character\_set\_%' OR Variable_name LIKE  'collation%'
</code></pre>

<p>That show me utf8, <strong>not utf8mb4</strong>. Any idea?</p>

<p><strong>EDIT:</strong> When I set the a variable to <code>utf8</code>, session value disapear.</p>
