#22331 [Ana]: mbstring configuration variables are marked PHP_INI_ALL, but this is false.

ID: 22331 Updated by: hirokawa@php.net Reported By: vigna at dsi dot unimi dot it Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux -PHP Version: 4.2.2 +PHP Version: 4.3.0 Assigned To: hirokawa New Comment: On my linux box with php-4.3.1, the abobe small script works fine. Please check it again with php-4.3.1. <?php print mb_http_output()."\n"; print ini_set("mbstring.http_output", "EUC-JP") === false ? "FALSE" : "TRUE"; print "\n".mb_http_output()."\n"; // it returns: // SJIS // TRUE // EUC-JP ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-02 11:05:46] vigna at dsi dot unimi dot it For func_overload you are right--I misread. For what matters your example: you're right too. The problem is that I was checking using what's written in the docs, i.e., that ini_set() would return false on failure: php -q <?php print mb_http_output()."\n"; print ini_set("mbstring.http_output", "EUC-JP") === false; print "\n".mb_http_output()."\n"; ?> pass 1 EUC-JP BTW, this is really with PHP 4.2.2. So either the first or the second statement are returning the wrong value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-01 01:25:39] hirokawa@php.net I can not get the result with you. I can change mbstring.http_output (and some others) in a script. This is a sample script, <?php print mb_http_output()."\n"; // default output encoding. mb_http_output("EUC-JP"); // set new encoding. // or ini_set("mbstring.http_output","EUC-JP"); print mb_http_output()."\n"; // output: "EUC-JP". ?> And, mbstring.func_overload is defined as PHP_INI_SYSTEM in the php manual, and is not defined as PHP_INI_ALL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-28 04:54:16] moriyoshi@php.net Assigning this task to Rui Hirokawa for fear it'd be forgotten. (Rui, feel free to reassign to me if you think it better) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-20 07:22:07] vigna at dsi dot unimi dot it Sorry: apparently they cannot even be modified in .htaccess--that was a mistake. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-20 07:17:34] vigna at dsi dot unimi dot it The documentation states that the mbstring.func_overload mbstring.internal_encoding mbstring.http_input mbstring.http_output mbstring.substitute_character are PHP_INI_ALL. This is completely false--it is impossible to set them in a script (except maybe for internal_encoding, but the effect is not completely clear if you already have strings floating around). Apparently, all of them can be set using .htaccess except for func_overload, which must be set in php.ini. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22331&edit=1
