From: thies at thieso dot net Operating system: linux PHP version: 5CVS-2005-03-30 (dev) PHP Bug Type: XML related Bug description: starting with 5.x the XML extension returns data in different encoding
Description: ------------ see code: php 4.x will return the data in 'ISO8859-1' php 5.x will return data in 'UTF8' this will break every single script that uses non-UTF8 encoded xml-files with the "old" xml extension (OK only if you use more than "US-ASCII" characters in the xml). this BC break happened when we switched from expat to libxml. sidenote: as php does not support UTF8 natively i think it makes little sense to make this the default return-encoding for any internal-function. btw: if you pass the 'ISO-8859-1' to xml_parser_create the php5.x behavior is like php4.x. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO8859-1"?><a>����</a>'; xml_parse_into_struct(xml_parser_create(), $xml, $v, $i); echo $v[0]['value']; ?> Expected result: ---------------- (can't paste cause of encoding) Actual result: -------------- (can't paste cause of encoding) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32498&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32498&r=mysqlcfg
