#25883 [NEW]: htmlentities($value, ..., "UTF-8") doesn't to UTF-8 correctly and completely

From: thomas at haeber dot de Operating system: SuSE Linux 8.2 (2.4.20) PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: htmlentities($value, ..., "UTF-8") doesn't to UTF-8 correctly and completely Description: ------------ Hi guys, I used the htmlentities-function for converting values of different Languages to UTF-Code - see example 1. But PHP doesn't convert these accent-letters to UTF-8-Code. Furthermore I've realized that PHP doesn't converts the °-Symbol to ° but to ° - see example 2. Reproduce code: --------------- // example 1: $value = "LA RÉCRÉ"; // with accent-letters of french language $value = htmlentities($value, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8"); echo $value; // Output: LA RÉCRÉ (not LA RÉCRÉ) // example 2: $value = "13°"; $value = htmlentities($value, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8"); echo $value; // OUTPUT: 13° (not 13°) Expected result: ---------------- LA RÉCRÉ 13° Actual result: -------------- htmlentities (UTF-8) converts ° wrongly to °. htmlentities doesn't convert french accent-letters. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25883&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25883&r=float
