Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-03 07:13:24] mike@php.net There still seems to be a regression with utf8 and PHP-5: mike@honeybadger:~$ php -r 'var_dump(pathinfo("/usr/bin/äggi")); echo printenv|egrep "LANG|LC";'; array(2) { ["dirname"]=> string(8) "/usr/bin" ["basename"]=> string(3) "ggi" } LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en mike@honeybadger:~$ php -r 'setlocale(LC_ALL, getenv("LANG")); var_dump(pathinfo("/usr/bin/äggi")); echo `printenv|egrep "LANG|LC"`;'; array(2) { ["dirname"]=> string(8) "/usr/bin" ["basename"]=> string(3) "ggi" } LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en mike@honeybadger:~$ php -r 'var_dump(pathinfo("/usr/bin/äßßü")); echo printenv|egrep "LANG|LC";'; array(2) { ["dirname"]=> string(8) "/usr/bin" ["basename"]=> string(3) "bin" } LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Same on latin1 terminal: s1-iw:~$ php -r 'var_dump(pathinfo("/usr/bin/äggi")); echo printenv|egrep "LANG|LC";'; array(2) { ["dirname"]=> string(8) "/usr/bin" ["basename"]=> string(4) "äggi" } LC_ALL=en_US.iso-8859-1 LANG=en_US.iso-8859-1 s1-iw:~$ php -r 'setlocale(LC_ALL, getenv("LANG")); var_dump(pathinfo("/usr/bin/äggi")); echo `printenv|egrep "LANG|LC"`;'; array(2) { ["dirname"]=> string(8) "/usr/bin" ["basename"]=> string(4) "äggi" } LC_ALL=en_US.iso-8859-1 LANG=en_US.iso-8859-1 s1-iw:~$ php -r 'var_dump(pathinfo("/usr/bin/äßßü")); echo printenv|egrep "LANG|LC";'; array(2) { ["dirname"]=> string(8) "/usr/bin" ["basename"]=> string(4) "äßßü" } LC_ALL=en_US.iso-8859-1 LANG=en_US.iso-8859-1 Everything also works well with PHP-4 in an utf8 console. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-02 22:30:31] moriyoshi@php.net Set the correct value to the LANG (or LC_CTYPE, if necessary) environment variables. The function expects your filesystem's locale to be the same as the one given by the environment variable. Up to this point you have to set up the libc's locale data too. If you were to use pathinfo() / dirname() / basename() on URI's, just don't do that. these are not designed to use for such a purpose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-29 15:25:28] mike@php.net This, in deed, seems to be a regression introduced in PHP5. http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/ext/standard/string.c?r1=1.405&r2=1.406&pathrev=PHP_5_2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-28 11:20:26] andreas dot schmidt at stasy dot de This bug has nothing to do with Unicode!!! The bug occurs when special characters like äöüé are used. These characters are part of the ISO-8859-1 character set! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-28 11:08:36] tony2001@php.net Unicode support will appear only in PHP6, you have to wait until then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
