Doc #66264 [NEW]: htmlspecialchars_decode() does not take an encoding argument.

From: lyle dot mantooth at primasupply dot com Operating system: Linux Mint PHP version: 5.4.22 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:htmlspecialchars_decode() does not take an encoding argument. Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.htmlspecialchars-decode --- Of all the functions that handle converting HTML entities to and from their character equivalents, htmlspecialchars_decode() is the only one that doesn't seem to care about the string encoding. * htmlspecialchars(), $encoding parameter added in PHP 4.1.0. * htmlentities(), $encoding parameter added in PHP 4.1.0. * html_entity_decode(), function added in PHP 4.3.0, presumably with $encoding parameter from the beginning. * hmtlspecialchars_decode(), function added in PHP 5.1.0, but no $encoding parameter. This may be only a documentation problem, but if it isn't, then it's a real problem working with this API without even knowing what the default encoding is. Did it change in PHP 5.4.0 for this function, like it did for the others? I still don't know. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66264&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66264&r=mysqlcfg
