From: renato@cria.org.br Operating system: Red hat linux 8.0 PHP version: 4CVS-2002-12-11 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: htmlspecialchars returns latin1 from UTF-8 I used the script bellow for testing (calling it from MS Internet Explorer to directly see the xml output). Calling it without parameters one should see a simple xml document showing a string in latin1. Calling it with "?charset=utf8", the script correctly converts the string from latin1 to UTF-8 but after using "htmlspecialchars" it goes back to latin1, and the xml becomes invalid. (put a comment on the "htmlspecialchars" line after the character conversion and the xml will show up in UTF-8 without problem). <?php $string = "Hello from São Paulo"; $charset = isset($_GET["charset"]) ? $_GET["charset"] : "latin1"; if ($charset == "utf8") { $charset_code = "UTF-8"; $show_string = mb_convert_encoding($string, "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1"); $show_string = htmlspecialchars($show_string, ENT_COMPAT, "UTF-8"); } else { $charset_code = "ISO-8859-1"; $show_string = htmlspecialchars($string); } header ("Content-type: text/xml"); echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='$charset_code' ?>\n"; ?> <test> <?php print($show_string); ?> </test> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20934&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20934&r=isapi
