Hi, i have changed two things in ext/mbstring:
1) i changed all structs to be const to prevent compiler warnings and programming errors. 2) i implemented a html encoding. at this time i have input decoding simply as a pass by and output encoding that produces named or numeric entities for html output. This way i can enforce the engine to deliver entities in output. At this point it only works with characters < 256. I guess the problem has something to do with internal handling of characters > 255. Anyone interested may download the patch: http://marcus.boerger.de/php/ext/mbstring/mbstring-entities-const.patch And the additional file holding translation the table: http://marcus.boerger.de/php/ext/mbstring/html_entities.c If the idea finds friends i will check this in and invent some more work in decoding and encoding. Example script: ---------- <?php mb_http_input("ISO-8859-1"); mb_internal_encoding("ISO-8859-1"); mb_http_output("HTML"); ob_start("mb_output_handler"); ?><html> <head> <title>ext/mbstring HTML Encoding Test Page</title> </head> <body> <?php echo chr(126).chr(127).chr(126).chr(0xE4).chr(0xF6).chr(0xFC);?> <?php echo "~~äöü";?> </body> </html> ---------- The above script will output the first php line just as the second one: ---------- ~~äöü ~~äöü ---------- regards marcus ------------------->>> mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <<<------------------ "We are animals among animals, all children of matter, save that we are the more disarmed.
