The 5.5 one seems stuck on 5.5.27RC1 (2015-Jun-24) http://windows.php.net/qa/ Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-03 16:10:26] ab@php.net Dependency packages are upgraded. Please check the upcoming RCs. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-14 15:01:58] ab@php.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-11 21:22:51] goozak at gmail dot com Description: ------------ XML Reader generate error "Warning: XMLReader::readOuterXml(): .....:5: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! 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
