My shell encoding and my editor encodings are setted to latin1.
This is also no utf8-encoding-problem.
The error occurs after updating my server from 5.3.17 on 5.4.7. 
The php source codes still the same like before the update.

In PHP 5.3.x the expected result will be returned. After an update on 5.4.7 it 
works no more

Description:

Hi,
with the following line of code you can see the problem.
In PHP 5.4.7 the funtions htmlentities and htmlspecialchars didn't support no 
more german umlauts. They returns an empty string.

Best regards,
Stephan

Test script:
---------------
echo "TEST:".
htmlentities('ÄÖÜäöüß')."|".htmlspecialchars('ÄÖÜäöüß')."|".'ÄÖÜäöüß';

Expected result:
----------------
TEST: ÄÖÜäöüß|ÄÖÜäöüß|ÄÖÜäöüß

Actual result:
--------------
TEST: ||ÄÖÜäöüß


------------------------------------------------------------------------
