#32311 [Opn->Fbk]: mb_encode_mimeheader does not properly escape characters

Raw characters which appear as RFC2047 sequences are simply left as is. Ex: mb_encode_mimeheader( '=?iso-8859-1?q?this=20is=20some=20text?=' ); returns '=?iso-8859-1?q?this=20is=20some=20text?=' The exact same string, which is obviously not the encoding for the source string. That is, mb_encode_mimeheader does not do any type of escaping. That is, the following condition is not always true: mb_decode_mimeheader( mb_encode_mimeheader( $text ) ) == $text Reproduce code: --------------- $text = '=?iso-8859-1?q?this=20is=20some=20text?='; assert( mb_decode_mimeheader( mb_encode_mimeheader( $text ) ) == $text ); Expected result: ---------------- The decode/encode sequence should always return the original text. Actual result: -------------- Returned result is different than original (that is, the assertion fails). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32311&edit=1
