Since the last update of php, utf8 encoded strings are no longer output correctly. example: Testaccount name "tdstuser1" outputs apcu and session t�stuser1 (t?stuser1) String containing the umlaute included and before the update urgently had to be encoded, must now no longer be coded!

Please check whether it also works for you with such a build. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-01-10 14:56:34] bugsphpnet at atis dot id dot lv For anyone stumbling upon this, a quick and ugly workaround: /* Original call */ $response = xmlrpc_server_call_method($srv, $request, NULL, array('encoding'=>'UTF-8', 'verbosity'=>'no_white_space')); $response = str_replace(array('&#28;','&#29;'),array('&#208;','&#209;'),$response); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-01-10 14:54:05] bugsphpnet at atis dot id dot lv Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.xmlrpc-encode --- UTF-8 characters are incorrectly encoded. 208 character code turns into 28, and 209 turns into 29, etc PHP 5.3.10 did not had this problem. Problem has been reproduced on versions: PHP 7.1.0-5+deb.sury.org~xenial+1 (cli) ( NTS ) PHP 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 (cli) ( NTS ) Test script: --------------- <?php print_r(xmlrpc_encode('Москва')); Expected result: ---------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><params><param><value><string>&#208;&#156;&#208;&#190;&#209;&#129;&#208;&#186;&#208;&#178;&#208;&#176;</string></value></param></params> Actual result: -------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><params><param><value> <string>&#28;&#156;&#28;&#190;&#29;&#129;&#28;&#186;&#28;&#178;&#28;&#176;</string></value></param></params> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73908&edit=1
