#25434 [NEW]: Include command with UTF-8 file returns undefined character

From: JanKarnik at atlas dot cz Operating system: Win2K+iis PHP version: 4.3.3 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: Include command with UTF-8 file returns undefined character Description: ------------ Include command with UTF-8 file returns undefined character. Take a UTF-8 encoded php file with "include" or "require" command. Try include a UTF-8 encoded text. On the begining of the above include you'll get returned an undefined character, shown in some browsers as a rectangle. This character is used in windows to show that text has been UTF-8 encoded, but in all common editors (notepad...) is invisible. Reproduce code: --------------- bug.php: <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head> <body> <?php <include"./text.txt"> ?><body></html> text.txt: SOME UTF-8 ENCODED TEXT SOME UTF-8 ENCODED TEXT SOME UTF-8 ENCODED TEXT Expected result: ---------------- An unexpected chracters are returned Actual result: -------------- ?<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head> <body> ?SOME UTF-8 ENCODED TEXT SOME UTF-8 ENCODED TEXT SOME UTF-8 ENCODED TEXT <body></html> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25434&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25434&r=gnused
