From: baer at bundes-verlag dot de Operating system: SuSE Linux 8.1 PHP version: 4.3.4 PHP Bug Type: dBase related Bug description: german special characters like äöü are not correct when opening a dbase-dataset Description: ------------ i tried to open datasets with dbase_open() and dbase_get_record_with_names(). after doing so, all german special characters like äöüßÄÖÜ are not correct as i can see with print_r(). so for german users (and others too) it's not possible to use dbase-import. Reproduce code: --------------- $dbase_identifier = dbase_open($file,2); $max_records = dbase_numrecords($dbase_identifier); for ($i=0; $i<$max_records; $i++) { $rec = dbase_get_record_with_names($dbase_identifier,$i); print_r($rec); } Expected result: ---------------- i'd like to have all the characters äöüßÄÖÜ not being replaced by other ones like \n or nothing: Array ( [ART_ID] => 3198 [INSERTUSER] => Übernahme [EDITDAT] => 20030923 [EDITUSER] => UPD_APREIS [ABI_UNTERR] => Erzählungen [deleted] => 0 ) Actual result: -------------- instead of the german characters i get replaced ones: Array ( [ART_ID] => 3198 [INSERTUSER] => bernahme [EDITDAT] => 20030923 [EDITUSER] => UPD_APREIS [ABI_UNTERR] => Erz hlungen [deleted] => 0 ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27651&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27651&r=float
