Doc #53783 [NEW]: Meaning of mbstring "auto" encoding depends on mbstring.language

From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Meaning of mbstring "auto" encoding depends on mbstring.language Description: ------------ The following documents says that the "auto" encoding for mbstring always expands to "ASCII, JIS, UTF-8, EUC-JP, SJIS". But according to ext/mbstring/mbstring.c, "auto" actually expands to php_mb_default_identify_list_* which the current mbstring.language value corresponds to. doc-en/en/reference/mbstring/functions/mb-convert-encoding.xml doc-en/en/reference/mbstring/functions/mb-detect-encoding.xml doc-en/en/reference/mbstring/functions/mb-detect-order.xml doc-en/en/reference/mbstring/ini.xml The correct behavior is only described in: doc-en/en/reference/mbstring/supported-encodings.xml which says: If "auto" is set, it is expanded to the list of encodings defined per the NLS. For instance, if the NLS is set to Japanese, the value is assumed to be "ASCII,JIS,UTF-8,EUC-JP,SJIS". -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53783&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53783&r=mysqlcfg
