RC1 has worked fine. I suspect that the following entry in the NEWS file has something to do with this: "Properly address incomplete multibyte chars inside escapeshellcmd() (Ilia, Stefan Esser)" Reproduce code: --------------- php -r "var_dump(escapeshellarg('ä'));" Expected result: ---------------- string(2) "'ä'" Actual result: -------------- string(2) "''" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44564&edit=1
