Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-12 07:42:16] sjoerd-php at linuxonly dot nl Thank you for your bug report. The character encoding specifies how bytes are converted to letters. This is important if you want to output non-ASCII letters. When outputting to the browser, any character encoding can be used as long as you tell the browser which one you are using. You can not expect non-ASCII letters to work in the browser unless you inform the browser which character encoding you are using, with a HTTP header or <?xml tag. With the console, you would have to output something in the character encoding of the console. I do not think this is a bug in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-12 03:24:21] hunt_inet at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ I faced some problem to correctly output text from php command line file. So I wrote a samll test and save it as "hello.php" as the code listed below. If I saved it in UTF-8 format and executed it in the command line, then it output some garbage (chinese part) and part of correct text (English part). But if I ran it in browser, the output is correct. Also, if I save it in ANSI format (I believe it is in multi-byte format) then the output is correct in command line. But its output is some garbage (chinese part) in browser view. I guess this is a bug. Hunt Chang Reproduce code: --------------- <?php // cause this file is saved in UTF-8 format setlocale(LC_ALL, 'zh_TW.UTF8'); // warning: not 'UTF-8'! // setlocale(LC_ALL, 'zh_TW'); // warning: not 'UTF-8'! // You may execute this script by typing: // php hello_cmd.php print "Hello world!\n"; echo "Hello world!\n"; echo 'æ¡è¿å è¨!' . "\n"; echo "æ¡è¿å è¨!\n"; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48891&edit=1
