#45213 [NEW]: imap_utf7_encode() computes wrong UTF-7 data

From: thomas dot jarosch at intra2net dot com Operating system: linux PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: IMAP related Bug description: imap_utf7_encode() computes wrong UTF-7 data Description: ------------ Hello together, I tried to encode german umlauts using imap_utf7_encode(), but the computed string is not understood by the cyrus IMAP server. This is pretty much related to bug #15630, but now I had the help of a coworker who is pretty fast decoding base64 by hand :-) UTF-7 is defined to encode special characters as two byte UTF-16 stream. Normally the ISO-8859-1 string "täst" should be encoded into t&AOQ-st, which corresponds to 0x00, 0xe4. The current code in PHP 5.2.6 encodes it to t&5A-st, which is 0xe4 without the leading 0x00. Would be nice if that could be resolved since it's not compatible with most IMAP implementations. Bug #15630 is around since 2002. Cheers, Thomas Reproduce code: --------------- echo imap_utf7_encode("täst"); Expected result: ---------------- t&AOQ-st Actual result: -------------- t&5A-st -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45213&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45213&r=mysqlcfg
