Req #74777 [NEW]: automatically convert all strings given in php script file

From: qdinar at gmail dot com Operating system: windows 10 PHP version: 5.6.30 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:automatically convert all strings given in php script file Description: ------------ i use one-byte encoding for script's calculations, and want to provide one-byte strings, but i want to write php code itself in utf-8 because i use non-windows-1251 characters in comments. i have tried "declare(encoding='utf-8');" for that but seems it does not work that way, see example below. i tried that because it is written at http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.zend.script-encoding : " Literal strings will be transliterated from zend.script_enconding to mbstring.internal_encoding, as if mb_convert_encoding() would have been called. " and i thought that maybe " declare(encoding='utf-8'); " sets same "zend.script_enconding" but just for a separate file. (they are somehow related, as i have seen from docs). i do not want to have set it to all files. Test script: --------------- php script file in utf-8 encoding: <?php declare(encoding='utf-8'); mb_internal_encoding('windows-1251'); file_put_contents( 'declare_encoding.txt' , "сэлэм"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- "сэлэм" written with windows-1251 Actual result: -------------- "сэлэм" written with utf-8 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74777&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=74777&r=mysqlcfg
