#47984 [NEW]: COM automation: garbled utf-8 text

From: js at mcs dot be Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: COM related Bug description: COM automation: garbled utf-8 text Description: ------------ When using the attached script (saved as UTF-8 without BOM) to generate a word document, at the end of the text typed programmatically into word a "ÿ" character gets added. This character is only visible if I press the inverted "P" button on the toolbar. This is a reduced test case, but in real-world scenarios, visibly garbled text is inserted into word. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php unlink(dirname(__FILE__)."\\test.doc"); $word = new COM("word.application", NULL, CP_UTF8); $word->Visible = false; // hidden $word->Documents->Add(); $word->Selection->TypeText("This is a tést..."); $word->Documents[1]->SaveAs(dirname(__FILE__)."\\test.doc"); $word->Quit(); $word = null; header("Content-type: text/plain"); echo "wrote file to ".dirname(__FILE__)."\\test.doc"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- The COM automation should accept UTF-8 formatted PHP strings without malforming the string ending when the CP_UTF8 parameter is added. Actual result: -------------- Broken characters at the end of every string containing non-ASCII characters sent via COM automation. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47984&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47984&r=mysqlcfg
