#33079 [Opn->Csd]: User comments charset formatting issue

ID: 33079 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported By: mvl22 at mailinator dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: looks fixed. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-20 14:36:21] derernst at gmx dot net This might be solveable by adding add-charset="UTF-8" to the form tag of the add user note page; anyway existing notes will not be corrected by that measure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-21 13:01:00] goba@php.net Jakub, I think that for an immediate solution, a simple utf8_encode() call would do on user note output. What do you (or anyone else) think? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-20 16:15:08] vrana@php.net PHP manual is in UTF-8 now but user comments are in the single byte encoding. To fix it: 1. Convert old user notes from iso-8859-1 to utf-8. 2. Output add-note.php page in utf-8 to have new notes in the proper encoding. Or: Leave user notes in iso-8859-1 and convert them in the time of output. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-20 13:29:10] mvl22 at mailinator dot com Description: ------------ On http://uk.php.net/flock text formatting goes screwy from the word "Klaus" onwards in the comments. I see ?trong> at the end of that line using IE. On Firefox the problem doesn't occur, but �ck appears at the end of the line. Looks like the u-umlaut isn't having htmlentities applied. PS I suggest that the "PHP Version" field in this bug reporting system be non-mandatory when "Type of bug" = "Documentation problem". I've set PHP version to 5.0.4 but this is totally irrelevant here: it's a documentation issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33079&edit=1
