From: for-bugs at hnw dot jp Operating system: * PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: htmlentities() uses obsolete mapping table for character entity references Description: ------------ ext/standard/html.c has incorrect mapping table which htmlentities() uses. html.c is based on http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/UNI2SGML.TXT, but this mapping table is obsolete and not compatible with HTML4.0 or XHTML1.0. For example, U+2235(which is encoded to "\xe2\x88\xb5" with UTF-8) is not in http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent, but htmlentities() returns "&becaus;". U+226A(&Lt;) and U+226B(&Gt;) are similler case. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php var_dump(htmlentities("\xe2\x88\xb5", ENT_QUOTES, "utf-8")); Expected result: ---------------- string(3) "æ" Actual result: -------------- string(8) "&becaus;" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46478&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46478&r=mysqlcfg
