Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-23 07:21:09] vesely at tana dot it 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27018&edit=1
