Turn off unicode.semantics in webserver configuration or php.ini SquirrelMail scripts are designed to work with binary strings. Lots of SquirrelMail functions are not compatible with unicode.semantics=on. Some calls are not prepared to handle changes in crc32(), base64_encode(), fputs() and fwrite(). If scripts keep backwards compatibility, they will need wrappers for most of affected string and stream functions. Some unicode.semantics=on side effects can be fixed without splitting functions between PHP5 and PHP6, but unicode.script_encoding can't be set with ini_set() and must be declared on top of all affected scripts. -- Tomas
