#46784 [NEW]: Mixing page encodings (UTF8/ASCII) makes unrecognized session variables

From: simon dot uyttendaele at gmail dot com Operating system: Debian etch PHP version: 5.2.7 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Mixing page encodings (UTF8/ASCII) makes unrecognized session variables Description: ------------ - Having an auto_prepend script encoded in UTF8 - One regular page encoded in ASCII - A second page encoded in UTF8 (or the other way around) Makes all the associative session variables unrecognized. print_r($_SESSION) does out put the correct session variables. (the key is probably encoded differently which makes it not recognize it) Reproduce code: --------------- PREPEND FILE ENCODED IN UTF8 (no BOM) : <?php $dummy = true; ?> REGULAR FILE ENCODED IN ASCII : <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['foo'] = 42; include( <second page> ); ?> REGULAR FILE ENCODED IN UTF8 : <?php echo $_SESSION['foo']; print_r($_SESSION); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Display : ----------------- 42Array( [foo] => 42 ) ----------------- Actual result: -------------- Display : ----------------- Array( [foo] => 42 ) ----------------- -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46784&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46784&r=mysqlcfg
