ID: 66618 Comment by: cmbecker69 at gmx dot de 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: If a browser shall display a page in UTF-8 encoding, and there are unrecognized code points, it will substitute them by the Unicode replacement character U+FFFD[1]. You can see that yourself if you visit the array_search man page[2], and search for "greetz Udo". Just below this text is an "ANSI" encoded non-breaking space character (0xA0), which is displayed as <?>. [1] <http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0fffd/index.htm> [2] <http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-02-03 14:23:18] bj...@php.net I can't imagine that a handful of latin-1 encoded characters in the user submitted data are causing your browser to present you weird data or broken navigation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-02-03 09:14:27] francois dot gannaz at silecs dot info Removing one comment did not change the encoding problem. Here is the direct link to the W3C HTML validator on one of the offending pages: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fphp.net%2Fmanual%2Fen%2Ffunction.array-merge.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-31 18:12:18] cmbecker69 at gmx dot de | As for the 1st one; I have deleted the note that had the | invalid character point. Actually, at least the comment by rafmavCHEZlibre_in_france is most likely encoded as ISO-8859-1. The offending character is an é, which is quite common in several languages. There might be a lot more of these comments. Instead of deleting them, it might be worth transcoding them to UTF-8. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-31 17:05:20] bj...@php.net Your second problem sounds like: https://github.com/php/web-php/pull/32 As for the 1st one; I have deleted the note that had the invalid character point. Can you recheck in like 60minutes and see if it works? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-31 16:48:05] francois dot gannaz at silecs dot info 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; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
