#42295 [NEW]: mcrypt outputs are latin1 instead of utf8

From: webmaster at philcorda dot de Operating system: Suse Linux 9.3 PHP version: 5CVS-2007-08-14 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: mcrypt related Bug description: mcrypt outputs are latin1 instead of utf8 Description: ------------ Today, I tried to use mcrypt with utf8. The background was a mysql-connection running in utf8-mode and for this reason all the transfered strings have to be encoded in utf8. I set the default charset in the php.ini to utf-8 and php works fine but then I tried to encrypt strings with mcrypt and all the strings where given out in latin1 / ISO-8859-1 instead of utf-8. I don't know why mcrypt delivers the strings in latin1 instead of utf-8 but I would be happy if this bug could be solved 'till next version. For this time I'll use utf8_encode(). Reproduce code: --------------- Irrelevant Expected result: ---------------- utf-8 strings Actual result: -------------- latin1 strings -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42295&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42295&r=mysqlcfg
