#28062 [Opn->Fbk]: gettext produces ? instead of german special chars

ID: 28062 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: soletan at toxa dot de -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Gettext related Operating System: SuSE Linux 7.2 PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment: Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If possible, make the script source available online and provide an URL to it here. Try avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Now I detected some trouble using gettext. I use it to translate hardcoded english strings in script to be translated into german versions. The latter ones contain special characters which are part of ISO-8859-1. These have been displayed properly under 4.3.5. Now I get questions marks instead. It must be a problem up to PHP, since I can switch back to the previously installed 4.3.5 to get working again. Both versions are compiled using identical config.nice-scripts. I grepped the Changelog and didn't found any notice on gettext. So what's up with that?? I won't use that "safe" (bug-fixed) version 4.3.6, since many of the sites I'm hosting rely on gettext translation. Thanks for your help in advance, best regards.
