Hi Nikita: > PHP <= 5.3.13, PHP 5.4, master behave as follows when an invalid UTF-8 > string is encountered: > * A warning is thrown, but only if display_errors=off So the warning is put into the error log? But only if display_errors is off? And if display_errors is on, no warning is produced? That's very counter-intuitive and un-PHP-like. Someone mentioned it's for security reasons. By that logic, we should get rid of all error messages because they all reveal some information that can be used by attackers.
