ID: 54569 Updated by: paj...@php.net Reported by: vmiszczak at ankama dot com Summary: echo,proc_open,... issues with UTF-8 terminal -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Windows has no idea about UTF-8, especially not in console mode. But that does not mean the data you are echo'ing is not correct UTF-8. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-19 17:56:04] vmiszczak at ankama dot com Description: ------------ Those functions (at least) do strange things when using an UTF-8 terminal under Windows. For instance, doing a php 'echo' on a UTF-8 string does not output the string! Printing the same string with fwrite(STDOUT,$string) works. More problematic : parsing UTF-8 data and trying to execute a program (I've tried popen,exec,proc_open,passthru) with those data as program arguments make the program to not understand the decoding that should be used. Writing the script output to a batch file and executing the batch works. Test script: --------------- Launch a cmd.exe. Execute chcp 65001 to get the terminal use UTF-8 (make sure your font support this, use Lucida console for instance). Launch this script : <?php $data="ï"; fwrite(STDOUT,$data."\n"); echo $data."\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- I'm expecting UTF-8 data to be shown correctly and program execution string passed to exec() and so use correct string decoding. Actual result: -------------- ï �� ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54569&edit=1
