#42095 [NEW]: Missing useful encoding information for XMLReader/libxml

From: rbarton at coexia dot com Operating system: N/A PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Missing useful encoding information for XMLReader/libxml Description: ------------ There is no reference in the XMLReader or libxml documentation to the fact that libxml uses UTF-8 as its internal character set, in all cases (as per http://www.xmlsoft.org/encoding.html#internal). As such, the output from any XMLReader function or property will always be in UTF-8, regardless of the input encoding specified. Anyone unfamiliar with libxml may assume that the encoding parameter passed to XMLReader::open() would cause the output to be in the same encoding, which is not the case for any encoding except UTF-8. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42095&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42095&r=mysqlcfg
