Reproduce code: --------------- <input type=text name=foo value=''> if($_REQUEST["foo"] != ""){$array = explode(" ",$foo)} Expected result: ---------------- in_array("ferienhäuser",$array) == true; Actual result: -------------- As described above in_array does not find the keyword and all browsers do not display $array[0] correctly, although they do for $_REQUEST["foo"] Reason, string gets corrupted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29908&edit=1
