Req #52478 [NEW]: parse_str should accept string encoding as a parameter

From: Operating system: NA PHP version: 5.2.14 Package: *URL Functions Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:parse_str should accept string encoding as a parameter Description: ------------ It would be nice to have parse_str($str, $arrout) accepting a third parameter allowing to specify string encoding. Typically javascript encoded strings will be in UTF-8. My server for example uses ISO-8859-1 for everything. I'm willing to try to develop a patch for this (never done it before). It would be nice if somebody pointed out what internal functions should i use to get this working. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52478&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52478&r=mysqlcfg
