Req #51623 [NEW]: Upgrade utf8_enc/decode to Windows-1252

From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Upgrade utf8_enc/decode to Windows-1252 Description: ------------ utf8_enc/decode enc/decodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 and vice versa I think it would be a good improvement to use Windows-1252 instead of ISO-8859-1 Windows-1252 is a superset of ISO-8859-1, which only adds some glyphs to unused ISO-8859-1 code point. Added to the fact that Windows-1252 is a de facto world wide standard, that HTML5 is standardizing on UTF-8/Windows-1252 "even if ISO-8859-1 it stated in the document". That would also fix a lot of scripts on the web, where we see some <92> "characters" instead of ’ (opening single quote, or apostrophe) for example -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51623&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51623&r=mysqlcfg
