 New Comment:

it's NOT a bug.

after turn on zend.multibyte, just need to enable mbstring extension, and in 
php.ini, set:

mbstring.internal_encoding = utf-8

now everything works fine.

test in php-5.4.10, windows2k8.

i guess that php convert php-script from declared encoding to mbstring 
internal_encoding first, and then try to execute the script. and default 
internal_encoding is something like ASCII, so this problem appears.

I'm not sure if this issue is related but here is the problem I have with 
declare(ENCODING = 'utf-8'):

Tested PHP Versions:
PHP 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.1 (cli)
PHP 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.1 (cgi-fcgi)

Put this in a file (test.php):

<?php
declare(ENCODING = 'utf-8') ;

//ä ü ö

?>

Run php test.php > test.txt

In text.txt you can find some unreadable characters.

This always occurs if there are special chars in any COMMENTS in the PHP file.

Please fix in the new versions of php

Description:
------------
Enabling zend.multibyte and having declare(encoding = UTF-8) in UTF-8 encoded 
scripts does not print UTF-8 chars properly.

Same script (still encoded as UTF-8) but with declare(encoding = ISO-8859-1) 
prints out UTF-8 chars correct.

>/opt/phpfarm/inst/bin/php-5.4.4 -i | grep multi
zend.multibyte => On => On

>/opt/phpfarm/inst/bin/php-5.4.4 -i | grep UTF
default_charset => UTF-8 => UTF-8
zend.script_encoding => UTF-8 => UTF-8
exif.encode_unicode => UTF-8 => UTF-8
iconv.input_encoding => UTF-8 => UTF-8
iconv.internal_encoding => UTF-8 => UTF-8
iconv.output_encoding => UTF-8 => UTF-8
LANG => de_DE.UTF-8
_SERVER["LANG"] => de_DE.UTF-8

Test script:
---------------
<?php
declare(encoding = 'UTF-8');
echo htmlspecialchars('"aäaß', ENT_QUOTES | ENT_IGNORE, 'UTF-8');
echo "\n" . '"aäaß';
?>




Expected result:
----------------
&quot;aäaß
"aäaß

Actual result:
--------------
&quot;aa
"a▒a▒
