Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-31 12:49:04] atlantisboy at yougotmail dot com I really don't why noone consider this bug ??? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-31 12:41:17] johnmcklein at hotmail dot com I also face this problem , how to fix it ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-24 11:15:50] atlantisboy at yougotmail dot com I also notice that , i retried many times with the same setting . +Apache1.3.31 , PHP4.3.8 +Apache1.3.31 , PHP5.0.0 +Apache2 , PHP5.0.0 +Apache2 , PHP4.3.8 +Omni 3 Alpha 3 , PHP4.3.8 +Omni 3 Alpha 3 , PHP5.0.0 on Windows XP (SP1) computers and the problems still remain the same when i use PHP5.0.0 . I believe it's a bug and hope the problem will be resolved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-23 15:09:16] atlantisboydn at yougotmail dot com $mbstring_cfgs = array( 'zlib.output_compression' => '1', 'zlib.output_compression_level' => '9', 'mbstring.detect_order' => 'UTF-8', 'mbstring.http_input' => 'UTF-8', 'mbstring.http_output' => 'UTF-8', 'mbstring.internal_encoding' => 'UTF-8', 'mbstring.script_encoding' => NULL, 'mbstring.substitute_character' => NULL ); foreach( $mbstring_cfgs as $k => $v ) { ini_set ($k,$v); } $a = @$_POST['txt']; $a = mb_convert_encoding($a, 'UTF-8','SJIS'); $a = mb_convert_encoding($a, 'HTML-ENTITIES','UTF-8'); echo $a; ===================================================== Step One : Converting a SJIS encoded string to UTF-8 string . This step is good , nothing trouble appeared. Step Two : When convert UTF-8 string ( or whatever multi-byte string ) to HTML ENTITIES . PHP 5.0.0 return a wrong string with uncomplete entities and strange characters. I don't face this problem in PHP 4.3.3 RC3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-23 03:30:52] moriyoshi@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.
