Bug #15799 Updated: Another segfault on iconv

ID: 15799 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: jan@horde.org Status: Analyzed Bug Type: ICONV related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2002-02-2 New Comment: fyi..I can't reproduce this on Linux with latest CVS and with libiconv 1.3. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-12 01:19:33] mfischer@php.net Yes true ... weird. Upon taking a closer look it seems the iconv fails with 'Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character' but the error code is not properly handled in the code in the first and therefore not recognized. Will take a closer look later (this day ;). Maybe you can verify if your input data really without errors? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-11 17:40:44] jan@horde.org Ah, you're right, I thought all ob_* functions that return or output the buffer pass the data through the ob_handler first. But even if I use it the intended way, the output is not converted. This is the new script I used: <? error_reporting(E_ALL); $text = <<< END Thanks !! David Chang ----------------------------------------------------------------- < ¨C¤&#1139;£ Yahoo!©_¼¯ > www.yahoo.com.tw END; iconv_set_encoding('input_encoding', 'BIG5'); iconv_set_encoding('internal_encoding', 'UTF-8'); iconv_set_encoding('output_encoding', 'UTF-8'); ob_start('ob_iconv_handler'); echo $text; header('Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8'); ob_end_flush(); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-11 17:10:02] mfischer@php.net I'm closing this because I think your code is bogus. The manual clearly says "The function ("ob_iconv_handler") will be called when ob_end_flush() is called, or when the output buffer is flushed to the browser at the end of the request." So, if you call ob_get_contents() and ob_end_clean() you do not get any conversion. If you either call ob_end_flush() or just don't call any further ob*() functions the conversion works as expected for me. Feel free to re-open if you think I'm wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-11 05:58:19] mfischer@php.net Yep, saw it. Will fix this later (this day). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-11 05:18:13] jan@horde.org I see you already committed the patch to cvs and, yes, php doesn't segfault anymore, thanks. But unfortunately the conversion doesn't happen at all. You can try the same script I posted earlier to reproduce it. Method 1 converts correctly, method 2 just send the Big5 data asis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
