Okay, this problem appeared to be some kind of abnormal. It wasn't in relation to PHP's upgrade. It took me hours to get into depths but now there's a stable solution to avoid this problem: After booting a server conversion failed as described, since gconv/iconv at libgettext produced question-marks on any German special character. Restarting the Apache2 once solved this problem until the system's next reboot. So I moved on and checked PHP's result of calling setlocale and that way found that category LC_MESSAGES isn't documented in PHP manual pages (anymore?). Well, in this it's optionally available, but editing all calls of setlocale to use LC_ALL instead permanently solved the problem. Software is okay, documentation/category support is nearly okay, too.

Reopen this if that happens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-19 22:04:24] soletan at toxa dot de For the moment forget about that. I tested around with it a bit and everything's working fine right now. I come back, if it re-appears. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-19 20:30:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for this bug report. 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 avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-19 17:08:26] soletan at toxa dot de BTW: here's my config.nice: #! /bin/sh # # Created by configure './configure' \ '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/httpd/bin/apxs' \ '--enable-discard-path' \ '--with-debug' \ '--enable-safe-mode' \ '--with-exec-dir' \ '--with-openssl' \ '--enable-sigchild' \ '--enable-maqic-quotes' \ '--enable-libgcc' \ '--with-zlib' \ '--enable-bcmath' \ '--with-bz2' \ '--enable-calendar' \ '--with-db3=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB4.1' \ '--enable-dio' \ '--enable-ftp' \ '--with-gd' \ '--enable-gd-native-ttf' \ '--enable-dl' \ '--with-ttf' \ '--with-t1lib' \ '--with-jpeg-dir' \ '--with-png-dir' \ '--with-gettext' \ '--with-imap' \ '--with-imap-ssl' \ '--enable-mbstring' \ '--enable-mbregex' \ '--with-mcrypt' \ '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' \ '--with-tiff-dir' \ '--enable-sockets' \ '--with-regex' \ '--enable-tokenizer' \ '--with-xmlrpc' \ '--with-ming=/usr' \ "$@" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-19 17:05:04] soletan at toxa dot de Description: ------------ Hi, I've upgraded from 4.3.5 to 4.3.6 immediately to keep as bug-free as possible. Now I detected some trouble using gettext. I use it to translate hardcoded english strings in script to be translated into german versions. The latter ones contain special characters which are part of ISO-8859-1. These have been displayed properly under 4.3.5. Now I get questions marks instead. It must be a problem up to PHP, since I can switch back to the previously installed 4.3.5 to get working again. Both versions are compiled using identical config.nice-scripts. I grepped the Changelog and didn't found any notice on gettext. So what's up with that?? I won't use that "safe" (bug-fixed) version 4.3.6, since many of the sites I'm hosting rely on gettext translation. Thanks for your help in advance, best regards.
