Summary: html_entity_decode not working with CP-1251 (5.2
only) and ISO-8859-1
-Status: Verified
+Status: Closed
Type: Bug
Package: Strings related
Operating System: CentOS 5.5
PHP Version: 5.2.14

New Comment:
Fixed in trunk and PHP 5.3. Unfortunately, the current policy is to only
apply security fixes to PHP 5.2, so it won't be fixed there.
The &é is a separate issue. It would certainly be preferable to
decode that (and indeed we accept e.g. &<), but it's not a bug as
it's invalid anyway. I'll do a little refactoring in
php_unescape_html_entities and improve that as well in the process, but
I'll apply it only to trunk.

Actually, the first bug is not only about é but all entities from
€ to
ÿ (except entities shared by both encodings)
About &é not being decoded, you don't see it as a bug, right ?

There are two bugs here:
* There's a bug in PHP 5.2.14 in that it shouldn't decode é when
the encoding is Windows-1251, as the character is not representable in
that encoding.
* There's a bug in both PHP 5.2.14 and PHP 5.3.3 in that é is not
decoded when the encoding is ISO-8859-1.
Windows-1252 works fine in both versions.

Description:
------------
Hi,
There seems to be many bugs with html_entity_decode.
Using cp1252 encoding, it decodes HTML numeric entities as if encoding
was cp1251
(please note that it works correctly on 5.3.3).
Using iso-8859-1 encoding does not seem to decode any numeric entity at
all (same
situation in 5.3.3).
Please also note that &é is never decoded neither on 5.2.14 nor on
5.3.3.
Test script:
---------------
html_entity_decode('é&é é é&é é&
&é', ENT_NOQUOTES, 'cp1252');
html_entity_decode('é&é é é&é é&
&é', ENT_NOQUOTES, 'cp1251');
html_entity_decode('é&é é é&é é&
&é', ENT_NOQUOTES, 'iso-8859-1');
Expected result:
----------------
expected results :
é&é é é&é é& &é
é&é é é&é é& &é
é&é é é&é é& &é
Actual result:
--------------
results in 5.2.14 :
й&é й й&й й& &é
é&é é é&é é& &é
é&é é é&é é& &é
results in 5.3.3 :
é&é é é&é é& &é
é&é é é&é é& &é
é&é é é&é é& &é
