#33517 [Opn->Bgs]: encoding decoding bug

ID: 33517 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: christian at koch dot net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: SimpleXML related Operating System: Windows 2003 Server PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php All XML extensions return UTF8, that is expected. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-30 13:50:51] christian at koch dot net Description: ------------ a simple xml file like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-15" standalone="yes"?> <p> <name>Ümläute sind dööf und ßcheiße</name> </p> saved as a windows ansi file, loaded with the script $xml = simplexml_load_file("test.xml"); echo " bla ". $xml->name; will convert the ansi xml elements into UTF-8 an in the PHP Script you must use utf8_decode(). Ich think thats a bug. Reproduce code: --------------- $xml = simplexml_load_file("test.xml"); echo " bla ". $xml->name; Expected result: ---------------- if I use a ISO encoded XML file with a valid XML header, the SimpleXMLElement object should provide an iso string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33517&edit=1
