1) I guess you installed half of extensions under multibyte pathname. Is this correct?
2) I suppose if you locate these extensions to single byte pathname, then they are loaded. Is this
correct?
3) I use Windows version on occasion so I could be wrong, but doesn't multibyte pathname cause
file access problem on older PHPs?
4) Your problem is code page change on Windows, so you are suggesting enable it like
php --chcp some.php
on Windows? (or --chcp-off to disable)
5) In case of abnormal exit, user may execute "chcp CODEPAGE". This could be documentation
problem. Is this enough for you?

"Extensions not loaded" with subsequent process interruption was how I first stumbled upon
this issue. A worst case scenario, if you wish.
I since found the way to reliable trigger it under normal circumstances.
Asking for "reproduction with cmd" isn't fair, CMD itself doesn't update console
buffer in realtime (nor is CMD strictly required to be present, to begin with⦠99% of the time
I don't use it at all, running PHP scripts straight from other programs though its
association).

So it doesn't load extension, while under Far manager? What is internal redirect? Preferably it
should be reproducible with the pure cmd.
Thanks.

Reproduction case?
Get Far manager (+FAR Commands plugin, which is part of standard package -
farmanager.com/download.php ), start PHP 7.1 with internal redirectâ¦
view:<? php -d internal_encoding=utf-8 -r "sleep(3);"
â¦observe console corruption for the duration of script execution.
May be not the most self-container demonstration, but very much visual.
Works equally well with CP437.

@anrdaemon, it would be nice, if you could put your language down to the technical level from your
shame theory. You say " half the extensions can't be loaded" - could you post some
reproduce case for this, that can be debugged?
Thanks.

That's just reinforcing my point, that single-minded pseudosolutions are not going to cut it.
Terminal encoding is a known complex problem, and by now people developed a treasure trove of
knowledge in dealing with it.
Why PHP has to "invent" its own ways? The "one size fits all" approach
didn't quite worked for several last centuries only on my memory. I don't want to see
anyone trying to walk that road only to be covered in shame. Yet again.
