Bug #14148 Updated: utf8_encode seems to return a not-null-terminated string

ID: 14148 Updated by: venaas Reported By: jochen@keutel.de Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: *XML functions Operating System: Solaris 2.7 PHP Version: 4.0.6 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-20 11:41:12] venaas@php.net You're right, this was fixed in CVS in July. You might try 4.1 when it is released, or get the RC from http://www.php.net/~zeev/php-4.1.0RC3.tar.gz RC3 seems to be the latest at the moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-20 08:51:05] jochen@keutel.de I'm using utf8_encode together with LDAP functions. E.g. filter: sn=müller (ü: german umlaut) ldap_search ($ds,"c=de",$filter,$attrs); doesn't work because filter contains invalid characters. So: $utf8_filter = utf8_encode ($filter); ldap_search ($ds,"c=de",$utf8_filter,$attrs); But this also doesn't work. The logfile of my LDAP server (Siemens DirX) shows some extra bytes in the end of the filter value. The reason seems to be that xml_utf8_encode (in ext/xml/xml.c) doesn't set the last byte of the string to "\0". (xml_utf8_decode sets the null byte correctly ...) Bye, Jochen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14148&edit=1
