Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38138&edit=1 ID: 38138 Comment by: rustamabd at gmail dot com Reported by: techtonik@php.net Summary: russian encoding detection support Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Feature/Change Request PHP Version: 4.4.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Windows-1251, koi8-r, cp866 are all single-byte CHARSETs, not ENCODINGs. mb_detect_encoding() is not intended to distinguish between charsets, especially single-byte charsets. Its primary purpose is to detect which multibyte encoding is in use, i.e. UTF-8, UTF-16, shift-JIS, etc. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-29 01:03:55] techtonik@php.net It is not freeware - it's open source.
