New Comment:
PHP's imap_utf8() is just a thin wrapper over libc-client's
utf8_mime2text() function. If the given charset is no supported
by libc-client, utf8_mime2text does not fail, but returns the
string unmodified. To me that looks like a bug in libc-client,
but that's out of scope for PHP anyway.
Thus, there is nothing we can do (besides re-implementing that
function based on mbstring or iconv, what is not going to happen).
Therefore I'm changing to doc problem.

Description:
------------
MIME 'from' header "=?gb18030?B?zfW+/L3c?=" is not converted to utf-8. Instead
the gb18030 encoding is returned.
I expect in versions < 5.4.0 a warning indicating unsupported character set and
an empty string returned.
I expect in versions >= 5.4.0 a correctly converted utf-8 encoding of the text.
Behavior has been checked with versions 5.2.9, 5.3.?, 5.4.6
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$from = '=?gb18030?B?zfW+/L3c?=';
$from_imap_utf8 = imap_utf8($from);
echo "imap_utf8: $from_imap_utf8", "\n";
$from_obj = imap_mime_header_decode($from);
$charset = $from_obj[0]->charset;
$text = $from_obj[0]->text;
$text_utf8 = mb_convert_encoding($text, 'UTF-8', $charset);
echo "decode/convert: $text_utf8", "\n";
echo "Correct conversion: ", $from_imap_utf8 == $text_utf8 ? "Yes" :
"No", "\n";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
For versions >= 5.4.0 I expect the script to output:
imap_utf8: çåæ°
decode/convert: çåæ°
Correct conversion: Yes
For versions < 5.4.0 I expect the script to output:
PHP Warning: imap_utf8(): Illegal character encoding specified in <script name>
on line 4
imap_utf8:
PHP Warning: mb_convert_encoding(): Illegal character encoding specified in
<script name> on line 10
decode/convert:
Correct conversion: Yes
Actual result:
--------------
For versions >= 5.4.0 I see:
imap_utf8: �����
decode/convert: çåæ°
Correct conversion: No
For versions < 5.4.0 I see:
imap_utf8: �����
PHP Warning: mb_convert_encoding(): Illegal character encoding specified in
/home/netcloud/jivan.amara/encoding.php on line 20
decode/convert:
Correct conversion: No
