From: mschering at intermesh dot nl Operating system: Linux 2.6 PHP version: 4.3.10 PHP Bug Type: IMAP related Bug description: imap_utf7_encode doesn't work as expected Description: ------------ These functions do not work: /** * Replacement for $this->utf7_encode because it expects the text to be in * ISO-8859-1 format while GO uses UTF-8. * * @access public * @param $text The UTF-8 encoded text to encode in UTF-7 * @return string UTF-7 encoded text */ function utf7_encode($text) { return imap_utf7_encode(utf8_decode($text)); } /** * Replacement for $this->utf7_decode becuase it returns the text in * ISO-8859-1 format while GO uses UTF-8. * * @access public * @param $text The UTF-7 text to encode to UTF-8 * @return string UTF-8 encoded text */ function utf7_decode($text) { return utf8_encode(imap_utf7_decode($text)); } } Reproduce code: --------------- Use these functions and encode UTF-8 strings with characters like ëäö etc in it and it will produce garbage. I use these in my mail client and it works but other mail clients do not see the folders correctly. Expected result: ---------------- Other mail clients should see the folder names correctly Actual result: -------------- The folder names have strange characters in other mail clients -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32586&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32586&r=mysqlcfg
