ID: 22108 Comment by: mckeever at web dot de Reported by: bugzilla at jellycan dot com Summary: php doesn't ignore the utf-8 BOM Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Feature/Change Request Operating System: * PHP Version: * Assigned To: moriyoshi Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I know this bug entry is old. But why is the BOM-problem set to "Wont fix"? The last comment said the support will come with PHP 6. We all know PHP 6 is dead. PHP 5.5.0 has been released a week ago. But the problem persists. Since it can not be guaranteed to have no BOMs in all files which gets included PHP should be able to recognize and ignore them. There is not only the problem of the "Headers already sent" but also NameSpacing doesn't work with BOM-infected files. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-22 18:35:06] der...@php.net This will come with Unicode support in PHP 6.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-22 18:32:38] jwagner at cc dot hut dot fi PHP 5.0.4 for Windows /still/ does not seem to have it (enable-zend-multibyte) enabled by default. For example session_start() is broken for UTF-8 encoded php files. I would strongly suggest to make enable-zend-multibyte a default for the windows release! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-12 23:43:27] lapo at lapo dot it > Is it possible to port this support for windows too? Of course I quoted the wrong like, zend-multibyte support is POSSIBLE (not DEFAULT) in the Windows version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-12 18:36:08] lapo at lapo dot it > How about making this --enable-zend-multibyte default option? It is already available on Windows. In fact, I'm using it on a production server since june 2003, with no problems and with many satisfactions. Any reason this is still not in by default? Someone else is encountering bugs with it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-06 21:08:05] techto...@php.net How about making this --enable-zend-multibyte default option? Is it possible to port this support for windows too? And for 4.3.x branch? Should it be marked open again? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
