#47875 [NEW]: no option to set HTML input encoding

From: thomas dot koch at ymc dot ch Operating system: Debian Lenny PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: XML related Bug description: no option to set HTML input encoding Description: ------------ Enhancement request. I need a possibility to indicate the html input encoding (as parsed from the HTTP headers) when parsing a html string with DOMDocument::loadHTML. Using loadHTMLFile is not always an option. libxml2 honors the content-type meta tag, but this may not always be present. How should the input encoding be indicated? In DOMDocument::__construct() or in DOMDocument::encoding or is that both the same? One could look in libxml2/HTMLparser.c#5580, function htmlCreateFileParserCtxt(const char *filename, const char *encoding) There the encoding is set by first building a "charset=$encoding" string and passing it to htmlCheckEncoding, which in turn parses the encoding out of the string again. This may be worth cleaning up together with upstream.
