#46455 [NEW]: htmlentities does not use default_charset or setlocale values

From: hostmaster at uuism dot net Operating system: Fedora Core 4 PHP version: 5.2CVS-2008-11-01 (snap) PHP Bug Type: *Languages/Translation Bug description: htmlentities does not use default_charset or setlocale values Description: ------------ The function htmlentities() appears to ignore the default_charset value in the php.ini file or the INI section of test scripts. I can't find any indication in the PHP Manual that htmlentities() is supposed to use the value for default_charset. This problem produces failure in the following tests: htmlentities() test 10 (default_charset / cp1252) [ext/standard/tests/strings/htmlentities10.phpt] htmlentities() test 11 (default_charset / ISO-8859-15) [ext/standard/tests/strings/htmlentities11.phpt] htmlentities() test 13 (default_charset / EUC-JP) [ext/standard/tests/strings/htmlentities13.phpt] If I change the htmlentities() statement to htmlentities("special characters", ENT_QUOTES, 'string') where string is cp1252, ISO-8859-15, and ISO-8859-15, respectively, the tests pass. The same kind of problem occurs with htmlentities() after the setlocale() command. I can't find any indication in the PHP Manual that htmlentities() is supposed to use the value from the setlocale() command. This variation of the problem causes these tests to fail: htmlentities() test 2 (setlocale / fr_FR.ISO-8859-15) [ext/standard/tests/strings/htmlentities02.phpt] (warn: possibly braind ead libc) htmlentities() test 4 (setlocale / ja_JP.EUC-JP) [ext/standard/tests/strings/htmlentities04.phpt] (warn: possibly braindead l ibc) htmlentities() test 15 (setlocale / KOI8-R) [ext/standard/tests/strings/htmlentities15.phpt] (warn: possibly braindead libc) If I change the htmlentities() statement to htmlentities("special characters", ENT_QUOTES, 'string') where string is ISO-8859-15, If I change the htmlentities() statement to htmlentities("special characters", ENT_QUOTES, 'string') where string is cp1252, ISO-8859-15, and KOI8-R, respectively, the tests pass.
