So I hope this bug report would be central place for both from now on. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33198 (which has examples of the problem) shouldn't have been closed as PHP v5.0.5 was where I've experienced this problem for the first time! I've worked up to v5.0.3 without any problems. But as soon as I upgraded to v5.0.5 in one site or started from fresh in v5.0.5 in another (same host), I kept randomally get those ??????. Then again, that guy claimed his host did something to either v5.0.5 or to Apache and it solved it, so it should be fixable somehow! But how exactly...? As for http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22108 , well, my host does use enable-zend-multibyte (which is why this post shouldn't have been closed either). Please take this bug more seriously, as it (randomally, but still) disables whole sites if they don't use English! Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35946&edit=1
