From: brett at brettbrewer dot com Operating system: Linux xq41.cyberlnc.com 2.6.18-5 PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: SimpleXML related Bug description: Apostrophe character code (’) converted to garbage by SimpleXML or LibXML
Description: ------------ When parsing an XML feed (wordpress) containing the character codes for a right single curly quote (’), the character is converted into â. Unfortunately I'm not able to get complete access to the server to deactivate Zend optimizer, Ioncube, etc and I'm pulling the OS info from phpinfo(). I've included the URL of the actual feed that is causing the problems. I found a really old similar bug report for php 4.3.2, but nothing for PHP5.Here's the old bug report URL: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24863&edit=2 I also found: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26964&edit=2 which suggest a similar problem with htmlentities and html_entity_decode but I don't know if it's related. I'm sure my feed is UTF-8 and if I convert it to ISO9xxx-1 before passing it to my SimpleXML object then SimpleXML complains that it's not in UTF-8 format and aborts, so I'm pretty sure it's not a UTF8 encoding issue with the feed. I've included the feed url in the code sample below. It assumes it is inside a class, but you can probably run the code below to reproduce the symptoms just by removing the "this->" in two places. Reproduce code: --------------- $this->blog_url = "http://75.126.106.225/blog/feed/";; $rawFeed = file_get_contents($this->blog_url); $xml = new SimpleXmlElement($rawFeed); //you can see the results of the incorrect parsing of the feed in the left sidebar at http://75.126.106.225 Expected result: ---------------- Code should keep the ’ entity code intact or possibly convert it to ' Actual result: -------------- SimpleXML contstructor seems to convert all instances of ’ into â If you use SimpleXML to parse the feed at http://75.126.106.225/blog/feed/ you should see the problem in the <title> of the second item in the feed. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46129&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46129&r=mysqlcfg
