Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69203&edit=1 ID: 69203 Comment by: dominic at mailinator dot com Reported by: whatthejeff@php.net Summary: FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH doesn't strip ASCII 127 Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Filter related PHP Version: 5.5Git-2015-03-09 (Git) Assigned To: whatthejeff Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: That would get my vote, possibly with new filters FILTER_FLAG_[ENCODE|STRIP]_CONTROL_CODES. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-21 11:16:34] whatthejeff@php.net I guess we should revert this and fix FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_HIGH if they're not behaving as intended. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-21 11:11:15] whatthejeff@php.net I think the intended behavior was a little ambiguous since the docs for FILTER_FLAG_ENCODE_HIGH have been out of sync with the implementation/tests since 5.2.1 (it seems). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-21 10:44:56] derick@php.net BTW, that's what the docs say too: http://docs.php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.flags.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-21 08:56:12] derick@php.net IIRC, they should strip / encode for for >= 128 only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-21 08:23:59] whatthejeff@php.net > So it seems like an unintentional side-effect. Until then, both STRIP and ENCODE were for > >127. I think there was only one PHP release that included this extension before that commit. Hard to say if it was intentional or not, but I guess we could ask Derick or Ilia if they remember. My assumption is that these flags were intended to optionally strip/encode characters that don't fall within the range of printable ASCII characters (20-7e). It's true that the original code didn't strip/encode the DEL control character (7f), but I'm not sure if that was intentional or an oversight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
