And please show me the simple script to verify your ploblem. I executed this tiny script, and if forks fine. (with Fedora Linux 5, PHP 5.1.5) <?php $string = "testö"; echo mb_detect_encoding($string,array('ISO-8859-1','UTF-8')); // returns ISO-8859-1 ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-23 12:05:59] sniper@php.net Rui, does this exist also in PHP 5.x branches/HEAD? If so and this is real bug, update the version. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-07 08:54:27] oylbqelmhfbxzg at mailinator dot com Description: ------------ Since bug 36994 was closed.. Both $string = "testö" in a utf-8 text file, and $string = "testö" in an iso-8859-1 file (converted using iconv) return "UTF-8" with mb_detect_encoding, even when strict is on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37724&edit=1
