#20929 [Fbk->Opn]: Problem in handling big5 characters from HTML form

ID: 20929 User updated by: xp2002@hkedcity.net Reported By: xp2002@hkedcity.net -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Redhat Linux 7.2 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: I have tried the latest PHP CVS 4.4.0-dev(200212120030). The problem still exist. All "big 5" characters from HTML form POST/GET are always converted to HTML codes. No function can be used to convert HTML codes back to "big 5" characters. Thanks.

When I use $_REQUEST, $_POST, $_GET to retrieve the data of a HTML form, all "big5" characters will be changed to some HTML codes (e.g. "$#20806"). Although these HTML codes can be displayed correctly in browsers, I cannot convert them back to "big5" code. With PHP4.2.3 on Apache 1.3.27, there is no problem. PHP can retrieve "big5" characters from HTML form. 2. The "htmlentities" function does not correctly convert "big5" characters to html codes. Wrong html codes are generated and cannot be correctly displayed in browser. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20929&edit=1
