ID: 32768 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: alex at sigmer dot com -Status: Assigned +Status: Open -Bug Type: Feature/Change Request +Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux 2.6.5-1.358 PHP Version: 4.3.9 Assigned To: derick New Comment: This will not be backported to PHP 4.4 - marking it as a doc problem. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-19 17:04:57] alex at sigmer dot com I would say it's a bug, not a feature, the PHP manual documentation (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php) claims: "Following character sets are supported in PHP 4.3.0 and later ... UTF-8" Regardless, an official note in the documentation could be helpful. Are there currently any plans to release version 4.4, and when might this decision be be confirmed? -Alex. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-19 16:19:05] derick@php.net It's not a bug, it's a feature - we *might* want to port this to PHP 4.4, if we decide to come out with that... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-19 16:12:48] alex at sigmer dot com Description: ------------ Yes, this bug has been reported before (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25670). And I know that it's fixed in PHP 5 but *please* can you backport the fix into PHP 4? I'm sure it couldn't take too long and it is crucial to our work. It's simply not currently viable for us to move all our servers to PHP5 and it would be a massive task too test each of our sites etc. We would be so grateful if you could do this. -Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32768&edit=1
