ISO-8859-1 is the most portable character set (apart from plain 7 bit ASCII), but e.g. your LC_CTYPE="ISO-8859-1" doesn't work here at all. Not with the current PHP-CVS, not with PHP-4.2.3, and not with Perl: % LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 perl -w -e ';' perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LC_CTYPE = "ISO-8859-1", LC_COLLATE = "C", LANG = "de_DE.ISO-8859-15" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). > IIC - Michael is right that locale names are even less consistent, than a > lawyer. > > So you can either setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "some string") then test if it works, > maybe > try again with "other string", but you can't grab'm all. True. If LC_ALL is set, it overrides any other of the LC_ settings, so you should make sure that LC_ALL is unset (or just set LC_ALL instead of LC_CTYPE). > Apart from that: > msopacua@trinity.webteckies.org ~/cvs/php4 > $ /php/bin/php -f ext/standard/tests/strings/strtoupper.phpt > --TEST-- > Test strtoupper on non-ASCII characters > --POST-- > --GET-- > --FILE-- > ÀËÏ--EXPECT-- > ÄËÏ > > msopacua@trinity.webteckies.org ~/cvs/php4 > $ sapi/cli/php -f ext/standard/tests/strings/strtoupper.phpt > --TEST-- > Test strtoupper on non-ASCII characters > --POST-- > --GET-- > --FILE-- > àëï--EXPECT-- > ÄËÏ > > /php/bin/php is 4.2.3 so something has changed not for the better :( Both versions work here without problems - but if it doesn't work anymore on your machine, something is probably wrong (btw: did you check strtoupper.phpt in already? I can't find it yet). Can you please try if Perl is happy with your locale settings? perl -w -e ';' should print nothing. If it prints some warnings, <http://www.uni-ulm.de/~s_smasch/locale/> might help. The program at <http://www.uni-ulm.de/~s_smasch/locale/#checklocale> can also give some hints. > Should I file a bugreport? I think so, at least if the Perl test above does not show any warnings.
