Summary: htmlentities and htmlspecialchars doesn't respect
the default_charset
Status: Not a bug
Type: Bug
Package: Strings related
Operating System: Linux/Windows/
PHP Version: 5.4.0

New Comment:
You will need to update your code to be compatible with PHP 5.4 either by
explicitly providing the charset, or by passing in "" to pick up the default
one.
Anything short of that is a security issue. Code that didn't do this in PHP 5.3
is potentially insecure depending on which charset is being used, so no,
nothing
will be fixed here. We will not revert to 5.3 behaviour.

I am facing the same problem.
After upgrading to PHP 5.4.10 in the product environment, all the GB2312
encoding data on the page became blank. This badly influenced the whole site.
It is undoubtedly a backward compatible issue. Wish it could be resolved soon.

This is a serious backward incompatibility (and not even listed as such).
I am also not able to upgrade to 5.4 because of this, and have advised all of
my
clients which I provide server consulting to do not upgrade as well.
No defaults of any kind should be changed arbitrarily , without notice and
without
possibility of customization. It breaks code, and makes everyone affected very
uneasy on any future relases.
Like all here I hope this get the serious attention it should have gotten
already.

This is a bug.
Just upgraded php and got empty string on many projects.
I cant't change code in CMS, because i am not a developer of CMS. I am using
CMS
fore develop web sites.

because use htmlspecialchars($text,NULL,""); can make works fine;
so php Developer can fix this bug in this easy way:
just make "omitted encoding" works like encoding with "", and all things will
be
ok.
