#35649 [Opn->Bgs]: base64_decode bug

ID: 35649 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: salmon318 at hotmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Strings related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.1.1 New Comment: With "a bc" you'll get the same result as with "abc" because that's the way it should work according to the RFC: "All line breaks or other characters not found in Table 1 must be ignored by decoding software." http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-12 20:39:27] salmon318 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ Upgraded to 5.1.1 from 5.0.5 and our application was totally broken. We found that base64_decode in 5.1.1 behaves differently than 5.0.5. Basically, if there is a SPACE in the string to be decoded, problem comes up. There are similar article on version 4.0.x but nothing on 5.1.1 so I think it is not fixed in 5.1.x yet. Reproduce code: --------------- Try the following code on both PHP 5.0.5 vs 5.1.1: <? $str = "a bc"; echo base64_decode($str); ?> You will get different result. This only happens if there is a space. Maybe base64_encode has the similar problem too. Expected result: ---------------- Php 5.0.5 and below has this result: kæÜ Php 5.1.1 got this result: i· ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35649&edit=1
