Description:
------------
In PHP 4.4.7 WDDX functions convert special characters(ISO 8859-1) to
<char code='XX'/>. Apparently the encoding changed to UTF-8 in 4.4.7,
while all our data and scripts are in ISO 8859-1.
(My company wants to upgrade to PHP version 4.4.7, we now still use
4.3.10-19 which doesn't have this bug.)
Reproduce code:
---------------
$q = $_GET['q']; // incoming user question 'beëindiging verzekering'
echo $q;
//building WDDX packet
$packet_id = wddx_packet_start("qxq_ask_command");
wddx_add_vars($packet_id,"q");
$packet = wddx_packet_end($packet_id);
echo $packet;
Expected result:
----------------
I expect the special character 'ë' to be 'as is' encoded in ISO 8859-1
inside the WDDX packet.
(...)<var name='q'><string>beëindiging verzekering</string></var>(...)
Actual result:
--------------
echo $q; // prints 'beëindiging verzekering' correctly
Inside the WDDX packet the 'ë' is converted to <char code='EB'/>
(...)<var name='q'><string>be<char code='EB'/>indiging
verzekering</string></var>(...)
