For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. This is a bug in the imap library, which is responsible for the conversion.

I'm working on a Webmail application, which uses gettext for localization and depends on IMAP extension. The output is always UTF-8, so I don't need to mess with charset conversions too much. I'm using imap_utf8() to convert the subject/sender/CC information correctly, directly to UTF8. It works well, unless I'm setting current locale with say, en_US.UTF-8. Then it converts to some 8bit charset even if it's supposed to output UTF-8. Would be easy to reproduce, but you'd need some weird subject line, like this one: Reproduce code: --------------- setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8"); echo imap_utf8("(IH#: 5176) Re: =?ISO-8859-9?Q?=FCr=FCn=FC_h=FDzl=FD_sat=FDn?==?ISO-8859-9?Q?_al_dedi=F0im_zaman_?="); Expected result: ---------------- setlocale(LC_ALL, "POSIX"); echo imap_utf8("(IH#: 5176) Re: =?ISO-8859-9?Q?=FCr=FCn=FC_h=FDzl=FD_sat=FDn?==?ISO-8859-9?Q?_al_dedi=F0im_zaman_?="); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30546&edit=1
