ID: 66618 User updated by: francois dot gannaz at silecs dot info Reported by: francois dot gannaz at silecs dot info Summary: UTF-8 encoding error Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: After some debugging, there are 2 distinct problems: 1. Some comments on PHP pages are badly encoded. They contain invalid characters, which prevent the W3C validator (or iconv) from parsing the page. There such problems among the 420 Kb of "http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php". 2. The problem with "zero-width spaces" that get printed is probably related to CSS, not to encoding bugs. At least with Opera 15, disabling the following line fixes the display: body, input, textarea { font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica", "Arial", sans-serif; } Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-31 15:06:37] francois dot gannaz at silecs dot info Description: ------------ The encoding of most pages is invalid. The most frequent error is that each underscore character in the left column (e.g. the list of functions) is followed by an invalid byte. The behaviors of the web browsers varies. Most silently ignore the wrong bytes, and some display a special character for each error. The [W3C validator](http://validator.w3.org/) confirms the problem. Here is its answer when asked to validate "http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php": "Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 3400 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication. The error was: utf8 "\xE9" does not map to Unicode" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66618&edit=1 -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
