Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71805&edit=1 ID: 71805 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: goozak at gmail dot com Summary: XML files can generate UTF-8 error even if they are UTF-8 -Status: Open +Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: XML Reader Operating System: Win7 SP1 PHP Version: 5.5Git-2016-03-11 (snap) -Assigned To: +Assigned To: ab Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thanks for the report. Looks like we see a regression in libxml 2.9.3, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760183 . No fix to this is currently available in the libxml2 repo. I'll keep an eye and will apply this patch to our dependency base as soon as it's available. Thanks.

Bytes: 0xC3 0xA9 0x78 0x20" even though the file is properly encoded in UTF-8. A small change to the XML content can be made (remove a tag or even just some characters) and the file is then read properly. Test script: --------------- https://gist.github.com/goozak/aa3f5bd5a146a51ddd75 Two files are used in the demo. Result will be the same if they are downloaded locally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71805&edit=1
