From: kstirn at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows 7 PHP version: 5.4.16 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Bug Bug description:strlen result wrong after passing through html_entity_decode Description: ------------ If you run string "X&nbsp;X" through html_entity_decode then check its' length it returns 4 instead of 3. PHP 5.3.x gives correct result. PHP 5.4.x and 5.5.x give incorrect result. Possibly the same problem with other HTML entities, such as &raquo; etc... Test script: --------------- <?php echo 'strlen(a) = ' .strlen("X X") . "<br>\n"; echo 'strlen(b) = ' .strlen(html_entity_decode('X&nbsp;X')) . "<br>\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- strlen(a) = 3 strlen(b) = 3 Actual result: -------------- strlen(a) = 3 strlen(b) = 4 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65072&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65072&r=mysqlcfg
