Status: Verified
Bug Type: Documentation problem
Operating System: FreeBSD 6.2
PHP Version: Irrelevant
New Comment:
The problem is that the PHP_FUNCTION and {{ proto still exist in 5.2.0,
5.2.1, 5.2.2, but the function itself isn't actually registered (there's
no actual PHP_FE for it).
The functable script (ie, the one that figures out which versions of
PHP have which functions) can't check for proper PHP_FE registration; it
only finds protos and PHP_FUNCTION declarations. It would become
needlessly complex if we made it check for PHP_FE (it would have to
check other files, make sure that entries aren't commented or #ifdefed,
etc.).
This really is an edge case. I think it's very rare that we have
function code that exists but doesn't get registered.
I propose we add a note to this page that says something like "This
function does not actually exist in PHP 5.2.x, it can be enabled
(without documentation or support) by hacking on the code here:
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/ext/mbstring/mbstring.c?view=markup";

Maybe an experimental note like this?

"disabled mb_list_*_names() and mb_list_encodings(arg) which are

Guess we should simply remove those two files, but this will be tough
for our version checker to understand

Description:
------------
The php documentation for
mb_list_encodings_alias_names(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-list-encodings-alias-names.php)
states that this function is available from php version 5.2.0 and up.
I am currently using php 5.2.1, and the function is not defined in this
version (I did not try 5.2.0).
I assume that this is a documentation error and not an actual bug(?)
Note:
I have the mbstring extension loaded, other mbstring functions work
fine.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
mb_list_encodings_alias_names('UTF-8');
?>
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined function
mb_list_encodings_alias_names() in /data/www/mailview/mailview.php on
line 131
