#36989 [NEW]: unprintable characters in documentation

From: ijh6lco02 at sneakemail dot com Operating system: Windows XP SP2 PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: unprintable characters in documentation Description: ------------ I frequently use php.net (the mirrors provided to me are usually us2.php.net or us3.php.net and both of those share this bug) for function reference when programming. On Windows XP SP2, my web browser is Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1 (and I was also able to reproduce this bug in Internet Explorer 6.0). When I go to any of the pages in the documentation (especially in the function list), I see mostly readable text, but there are always some characters that do not print. Instead, I see either a diamond-with-a-question-mark, a question mark, or even Greek and Chinese characters. This is annoying and sometimes it interferes with the meaning of the page (see example). Reproduce code: --------------- Point Firefox 1.5.0.1 or Internet Explorer 6.0 to http://us3.php.net/manual/hk/ref.http.php (or us2) Expected result: ---------------- Reference about the HTTP Functions provided by PHP Actual result: -------------- XXXIX.HTTP Functions ���� These functions let you manipulate the output sent back to the remote browser right down to the HTTP protocol level. �ݨD �إ߳o�ө���ݭn���~���{���w�C �w�� �o�Ǩ�ƬOPHP�֤ߪ��@����A���ݭn�w�˴N�i�ϥΡC ���ɴ�պA php.ini���S���w�q������պA��O�C �귽���� �o�ө���S���w�q���귽�C �w��w�q�`�� �o�ө���S���w�q���`�ơC �ؿ� header -- Send a raw HTTP header headers_list -- Returns a list of response headers sent (or ready to send) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36989&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36989&r=mysqlcfg
