Bug #12176 Updated: eregi_replace() doesn't work properly with Russian charset

ID: 12176 Updated by: vlad Reported By: ruslan2000@mail.com Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I do not think that eregi_replace() works with cp-1251 charset, or any other Russian charset for that matter (there are like 4 or 5 of them out there). And I do not think it ever will. After all, there are other languages that use the same character numbers as cp-1251, and making it work with one will clash with the other...:( Vlad Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-15 10:01:31] ruslan2000@mail.com <?php /**** Russian word "áîã" equal to word "god" in English I was expected that eregi_replace() did the following found the word "god" in the $header and changed it to %#&# (it should work with "GOD", "God", "GOd" and etc.) so with English word it works just ok! but then I'm try to use it with Russian word in the win1251 encoding it's fails (but in my opinion it should work with "ÁÎÃ", "Áîã", "ÁÎã" and etc.)****/ $header = "... ÁÎÃ ..."; //contains word "GOD" (in Russian (win1251)) $header = eregi_replace ("áîã", "%#&#", $header);//try to change word "áîã" to %#&# echo $header; // returns the $header unchanged :(( ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12176&edit=1
