and again a broken backend on a production server running E_ALL reporting because the braindead
idiot who made this change was not smart enugh to throw a *warning* if it returs an empty string
while the input was not empty
how stupid can developers act?

and last but not least WTF did whoever implemented the bullshit returning an emptry string WITHOUT
THROW A WARNING AT LEAST - who do you guys imagine that admins/developers which are running in E_ALL
| E_STRICT since years smell if there something is still broken and need to get fixed?

and if you guys would be smart there would be an php.ini setting to specify the bahvior globally
and/or per <Directory> instead hardcode incompatible changes breaking nearly ANY code written
without wrappers

as long as PHP at whole is NOT really capable UTF8 it is bullshit to assume that any input is UTF8
as default

If your page is ISO-8859-1 and you are using that as your internal encoding as
well, then you need to specify that. Otherwise it leads to security issues. And
since most people don't use ISO-8859-1 anymore, the safer default is to make sure
we don't output invalid UTF-8 byte sequences when the developer has not specified
the encoding.

and NO it is not a smart idea to change the complete default behavior
it is bullshit, if your page is ISO-8859-1 and you do htmlentities('üöä') it is
fundamentally broken to return empty strings in a random number of funtions
