#32498 [NEW]: starting with 5.x the XML extension returns data in different encoding
From: thies at thieso dot net
Operating system: linux
PHP version: 5CVS-2005-03-30 (dev)
PHP Bug Type: XML related
Bug description: starting with 5.x the XML extension returns data in different encoding
Description:
------------
see code:
php 4.x will return the data in 'ISO8859-1'
php 5.x will return data in 'UTF8'
this will break every single script that uses non-UTF8 encoded xml-files
with the "old" xml extension (OK only if you use more than "US-ASCII"
characters in the xml).
this BC break happened when we switched from expat to libxml.
sidenote: as php does not support UTF8 natively i think it makes little
sense to make this the default return-encoding for any internal-function.
btw: if you pass the 'ISO-8859-1' to xml_parser_create the php5.x behavior
is like php4.x.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="ISO8859-1"?><a>����</a>';
xml_parse_into_struct(xml_parser_create(), $xml, $v, $i);
echo $v[0]['value'];
?>
Expected result:
----------------
(can't paste cause of encoding)
Actual result:
--------------
(can't paste cause of encoding)
