Ignore the last comment. Do this: Create two files with the following content, and name them test_iso1 and test_utf8: <?php echo mb_detect_encoding("testä"); ?> Make sure the encoding is correct: $ file test_iso1 should return iso-8859-1 $ file test_utf8 should return utf-8 If they do not return the correct encoding, use iconv to convert them, e.g. $ iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1 test_iso1 >test_iso1.fixed or $ iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 test_utf8 >test_utf8.fixed Now run each script. The test_iso1 script should return a type of iso1, the test_utf8 script should return a type of utf8. Workaround: append an extra character to the end of the string, and then remove it(!)

To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If possible, make the script source available online and provide an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-06 11:49:43] ynynmzvqofeaz at mailinator dot com Description: ------------ mb_detect_encoding returns wrong result when text contains a trailing accent.
