Bug description: html_entity_decode misbehaves with UTF-8
Description:
------------
when decoding named entities with html_entity_decode, the resulting
characters are sometimes incorrect. e.g., "€" becomes the UTF-8
representation of the ⁄ entity (fraction slash). not all entities
are incorrectly translated, though. numerical entities work correctly.
tested with both php-5.0.0RC3 and the proposed -RC4 from
snaps.php.net/~andi/
config :
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
--with-gd --enable-safe-mode --with-dom=/usr --enable-ftp --with-zlib
--with-xsl --with-xmlrpc --enable-cli --enable-bcmath --with-iconv
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6
Reproduce code:
---------------
// all tests are viewed with browser encoding forced on UTF-8.
<?php
print html_entity_decode("€",ENT_NOQUOTES,"UTF-8");
print "<br />";
print
htmlentities(html_entity_decode("€",ENT_NOQUOTES,"UTF-8"),ENT_NOQUOTES,"UTF-8");
?>
// other test also available on
// http://fire.desk.nl/decode/index.php
// (just enter € and submit)
// and http://fire.desk.nl/decode/index.phps (source)
Expected result:
----------------
a euro-sign
a euro-sign
Actual result:
--------------
a fractional slash
a euro-sign
