Yeah, i guess the issue is that we the A versions of the API are used. Getting a VM with Chinese simplified to check more. Thanks.

I don't know if there is any settings wrong with my Windows (Chinese simplyfied version). It seems that the system only accept non-ASCII char in 2 bytes (in another word, system use GBK encoding). System accept & return the value in GBK encoding, but php pass & retrieve env var in UTF-8 encoding. I set an Environment variable in control panel, and retrieve the value in php by getenv. I got an GBK encoding byte string cannot read. Because php7 use UTF-8 as default ouput encoding. I tried echo iconv('GBK', 'UTF-8', getenv('FOO')); and got the expected value. I think this bug may be the limitation of Windows platform, and may not be fixed unless Windows change the its default encoding to Unicode. Thanks. Another test script: --------------- // Greek_alphabet 'α' === urldecode('%CE%B1') var_dump(putenv('FOO=α')); // true php.ini: --------------- ; PHP's default character set is set to UTF-8. ; http://php.net/default-charset default_charset = "UTF-8" ; PHP internal character encoding is set to empty. ; If empty, default_charset is used. ; http://php.net/internal-encoding ;internal_encoding = PHP Version: php-7.1.12-nts-Win32-VC14-x64 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-11-26 21:07:32] ab@php.net Ah, and the encoding of the file you've posted, too. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-11-26 21:04:14] ab@php.net Thanks for the report. Could you also tell whether your build is TS/NTS and what is your INI for default_charset and internal_encoding? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
