Hi,

I believe Andrei's also OK with the solution for this bug. As he said
when one of my colleagues went to a PHP conference (I couldn't this day
for personnal reasons), "English is not the only language".

Having an hardcoded encoding for the "php-side of life" is bad, we could
either make this a php.ini entry (or use a php.ini entry), or stick with
the way most xml functions are done in PHP (only accept UTF-8, that's
what my patch does).

Encoding non utf-8 valid data to base64 (WDDX "binary" type) would be
the best option, the only problem is the overhead of doing this (maybe
people have a need for transmission of binary data, but for now the PHP
WDDX extension isn't able to manage that, it's something else I'd like
to fix, and encoding everything from "ISO-8859-1" is not a solution).

For reference: http://bugs.php.net/46496


So, unless someone have time to bear with me and commit my stuff to WDDX
(I've already started some things for WDDX packet streaming, but anyway
5.2.7 isn't at a point it will accept any new features) I confirm my
request for a CVS account with the ability to edit ext/wddx/ and I hope
to be able to fix bug #46496 before 5.2.7 release.


Best regards,
Mark Karpeles
