#27018 [NEW]: urlencode should not do non-ascii characters

From: vesely at tana dot it Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: URL related Bug description: urlencode should not do non-ascii characters Description: ------------ Hi, is it possible to reopen bug 6173? Briefly, national characters are not field separators in any url scheme. If they are urlencoded, they may be traslated the wrong way by users with incompatible code tables. The answer to bug 6173 cites rfc1738, which is 10 years old and also says that " A mailto URL takes the form: " mailto:<rfc822-addr-spec> The bug is relevant for urls like mailto:user@example.com?Subject=use+national+chars+here that already violate rfc1738. I prepared a test page in http://www.tana.it/urlencoded.html The problem could be solved by adding a function to support rfc1342, that must be called before rawurlencode. Thank you for your patience Ale Reproduce code: --------------- rawurlencode("è is not e") Expected result: ---------------- %3D%3Fiso-8859-1%3FQ%3F%3DE8%3F%3D%20is%20not%20e Actual result: -------------- %E8%20is%20not%20e -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27018&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27018&r=float
