#33198 [Bgs->Opn]: Leading UTF-8 byte order mark yields different character encodings in output

ID: 33198 User updated by: Bjorn dot Wiberg at its dot uu dot se Reported By: Bjorn dot Wiberg at its dot uu dot se -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: mbstring related Operating System: IBM AIX 5.2.0.0 ML5 PHP Version: 5.0.4 and 5.1.0-dev (php5-200506211030) New Comment: Hi again! Sorry, but this is not connected to mod_cgi in any way. We're not using PHP through mod_cgi, but as a handler. Apache does not have a problem serving the page -- instead it seems that the error only occurs when the file is being processed by the PHP handler.

I just tried the 2005-06-21 10:30 snapshot, but the problem persists.

Please try the following: http://www.anst.uu.se/bwiberg/php/utf8_bug.phtml ...exhibits the bug randomly just like *.php. When in error, the output looks like this: http://www.anst.uu.se/bwiberg/php/utf8_bug_result3.txt http://www.anst.uu.se/bwiberg/php/utf8_bug.html ...does not exhibit the bug; output does not get re-encoded in any way, i.e. UTF-8 characters remain UTF-8: http://www.anst.uu.se/bwiberg/php/utf8_bug_result4.txt It appears that something happens to the output (sometimes) when PHP parses the file. Best regards, Björn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-15 21:10:50] tony2001@php.net And if you change *.php to *.<something_else> it still b0rks? Why do you think it's PHPs fault? From what I can see, there is no PHP functions involved at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
