#41952 [Bgs]: Problem with PHP6 and Byte Order Mark

ID: 41952 User updated by: hedvall at gmail dot com Reported By: hedvall at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Warning Operating System: Win2k SP4 PHP Version: 6CVS-2007-07-10 (snap) New Comment: Alright, this might not be a bug, but it worked in older versions and the one of the comments on bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22108 said that the BOM won't be sent at all with PHP6 along with the Unicode support. But yes, the documentation says that no header can't be sent after any output, but this did work previously because most browsers ignore the BOM completely, even if it's sent in the middle of the header block.

It might be correct to not send the headers after any other output but it hasn't caused any trouble with any newer browser on any platform (win, mac, linux). I always remove the BOM before the sites go live but when developing it's easier to leave it there until the page is finished. This is not a duplicate of 22108. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- 404 header sent without warning Actual result: -------------- Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [...]/header.php:1) in [...]/header.php on line 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41952&edit=1
