#21592 [Opn]: form submit and iso-8859-2

ID: 21592 Updated by: moriyoshi@php.net Reported By: szabo_a@interware.hu Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: RH 8.0 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Related: bug #7923 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-18 09:11:30] moriyoshi@php.net s/let me marking/let me mark/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-18 08:55:32] moriyoshi@php.net By default, htmlspecialchars() treats the input character set as iso-8859-1. If you want to specify it, you need to pass the appropriate charset name to the function via the third parameter. For more info, see http://www.php.net/htmlspecialchars. And moreover, htmlspecialchars() doesn't support iso-8859-2. Here's the list of supported charsets: ISO-8859-1 (alias: ISO8859-1) ISO-8859-15 (alias: ISO8859-15) UTF-8 cp1252 (alias: Windows-1252, 1252) BIG5 (alias: 950) GB2312 (alias: 936) BIG5-HKSCS Shift_JIS (alias: SJIS, 932) EUCJP (alias: EUC-JP) I think this list should have been put on the manual in the first place. Let me marking this problem report as Documentation Problem. Thanks for your report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-13 02:49:06] szabo_a@interware.hu Then some more info: Here is an example: http://www.parbanszep.hu/aa.php And the file: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2"> </head> <body> <h1><?=htmlspecialchars($xx);?></h1> <form method="post"> <input type="text" name="xx" value="<?=$xx?>"> <textarea name="yy"><?=htmlspecialchars($yy);?></textarea> <input type="submit"> </form> </body> </html> Now try to enter õûÕÛ into the two fields, they will become &#245; etc. instead of their one-char-form.

Thank you for your interest in PHP. Please provide an example which reproduces this error, also include any relevant httpd.conf/php.ini settings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-12 02:52:51] szabo_a@interware.hu When I submit a form (GET or POST), characters only in the iso-8859-2 charset (like õûÕÛ) are not converted from quoted-printable to their 1-character-long representations, instead they left unchanged like &#245; etc. I set the charset in the httpd.conf file, in the php.ini file, in the header of the html file and in the accept-charset attrib. of the form tag, but with no avail. I tried it in NN, Opera and IE. One more thing: sometimes it works correctly, but most of the time it doesn't. So strange enough! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21592&edit=1
