Patch posted to internals: http://news.php.net/php.internals/31870 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-24 10:29:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The same folks who maintain mbstring have added that support so it's not so wrong choice. Reclassified though. And assigned to the maintainer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-23 16:24:33] francois at tekwire dot net Not sure it should be reclassified as mbstring related, as the bug is in Zend/zend_multibyte.c and has nothing to do with mbstring. PHP5 has a little unicode part in the engine. It even has an (undocumented) 'detect_unicode' option. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-23 14:08:09] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reclassified: There is no unicode in PHP 5. Just mbstring. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-23 12:16:17] francois at tekwire dot net Description: ------------ Reopening bug #36711 because it is NOT a documentation problem. Setting 'detect_unicode=Off' is NOT a solution, just a workaround. In practice, because of this bug, PHK or PHAR packages cannot run on zend-multibyte-enabled environments, unless detect_unicode is turned off. Which makes them unusable in environments running unicode-encoded scripts. As a side effect, it also makes it impossible to include an unicode-encoded script inside a PHAR/PHK package, as it cannot be run. There is no logical reason to bind the __halt_compiler() feature with the zend-multibyte unicode detection capability. Everything after an __halt_compiler() directive must be considered as binary data and should not be scanned for unicode detection. If this data contains a unicode script, it will be scanned and detected when include()d through the stream wrapper. My (humble) suggestions to fix the problem: In zend_multibyte_detect_unicode(), the BOM detection does not have to be modified but, then, the script is scanned for null bytes : return zend_multibyte_detect_utf_encoding(LANG_SCNG(script_org), LANG_SCNG(script_org_size) TSRMLS_CC); There, the size should not be LANG_SCNG(script_org_size), but the offset of the __halt_compiler() directive. But I don't know where to find the COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET constant for the script. I even suspect it not to be available at this time... Another way, if the previous one is not possible, would be to scan for a binary string that cannot correspond to any unicode encoding. This way, PHK and PHAR could insert this string after ther __halt_compiler() directive, and it could be detected by zend_multibyte_detect_utf_encoding() as a stop string. I am ready to implement it if somebody provides a sequence of bytes that cannot be found in any unicode-encoded document. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo "OK\n"; __halt_compiler();<null-byte> Expected result: ---------------- OK Actual result: -------------- ?????????????????? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42396&edit=1
