Req #72831 [NEW]: The encoding option for chr and ord

From: masakielastic at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Next Minor Version Package: Strings related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:The encoding option for chr and ord Description: ------------ This proposal is about adding the encoding option for chr and ord. string chr ( int $codepoint [, string $encoding = "ISO-8859-1"] ) int ord ( string $string [, string $encoding = "ISO-8859-1"] ) The conversion between character and codepoint can be widely seen in learning Unicode spec, escaping dangerous characters for security, replacing emoji with image for legacy smartphone. Although intl and mbstring module have the conversion feature (IntlChar::chr, IntlChar::ord, mb_chr, mb_ord), A lot of people are satisfied with UTF-8 and the developers of frameworks want to reduce the dependencies of modules. Symfony developers maintain intl and polyfill-mbstring component. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72831&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=72831&r=mysqlcfg
