#35946 [WFx]: PHP reads the UTF-8 BOM and ruins the site!

ID: 35946 User updated by: php at mytrashmail dot com Reported By: php at mytrashmail dot com Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.0.5 New Comment: And what was that reason? That PHP v6 would fix this? But what about now? How come it worked in v5.0.3? How come that guy's host fixed it in his v5.0.5? What you're telling me is to downgrade to v5.0.3 (without explaining me why it worked there) and never to update again until v6.0, which could take years!

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
