Bug #52731 [Opn->Asn]: mb_strpos reports needle position incorrectly

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52731&edit=1 ID: 52731 Updated by: felipe@php.net Reported by: tokul at users dot sourceforge dot net Summary: mb_strpos reports needle position incorrectly -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: mbstring related PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2010-08-29 (snap) -Assigned To: +Assigned To: moriyoshi Block user comment: N Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-29 17:05:03] tokul at users dot sourceforge dot net Description: ------------ If code sets incorrect character set (utf-8 instead of big5 in test case), mb_strpos() can incorrectly report needle position in some cases. It looks like $offset is calculated one way and results are calculated in some other way. See test code. mb_substr($str,$pos1,1,'utf-8') can be used to see character that is in reported needle position. I understand that $str is not in UTF-8 charset, but position reported by mb_strpos() violates very basic strpos function behavior. Search is started after $offset position and result position is counted from string start. Result should not be lower than $offset or it should be boolean false. php5.3-201008291230 compiled with /configure --prefix=/somepath --enable-cli --disable-all --enable-mbstring Also tested PHP 5.2.0 (debian etch), 5.3.2-2 (debian squeeze) and 5.2.13 (standard PHP package). 5.2.13 and 5.3.2 results are the same. 5.2.0 results are a little bit different, but I was able to reproduce position calculation problem with more complex code. Test script: --------------- $str = "\xb7\x51 &\xb4\xa6\xb6\x7d"; $pos1 = mb_strpos($str,'&',0,'utf-8'); var_dump($pos1); $pos2 = mb_strpos($str,'&',$pos1 + 1,'utf-8'); var_dump($pos2); Expected result: ---------------- second var_dump() result should be higher than first one or should be boolean false. result should not be lower than offset. Actual result: -------------- int(2) int(2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52731&edit=1
