#44000 [Opn->Csd]: encodings listed for mbstring do not work with all functions

ID: 44000 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: josmessa at uk dot ibm dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. mb_strpos() is fine, the parameters are just not valid in some encodings. I've denoted encodings usable also in regexp.

It is a documentation problem. It should by like "Any of those Character encodings can be specified in the encoding parameter of mbstring functions except for mbregex related functions". Please fix the documentation problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-31 17:07:39] nicholsr@php.net I assigned to to the extension maintainer rather than as a documentation problem just to get clarification that this should be handled as a doc problem. if its simply a case to update the docs then assign back to me and I will do it. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-31 17:02:56] nicholsr@php.net assign to extension maintainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-31 16:41:06] josmessa at uk dot ibm dot com Description: ------------ The following statement is from the Multbyte string functions page on php.net "Any of those Character encodings can be specified in the encoding parameter of mbstring functions". This is not true, mb_regex_encoding and mb_strpos and probably more cannot recognise some of the encodings listed.
