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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53783&edit=1
