## #29998 — Nikhil Gupta — 2007-05-31T12:38:50+00:00

Hi,
I'm writing some PHPT test cases for PHP 6 and wanted to check that I was seeing the correct behaviour with unicode.
I tried the following simple testcase and gets Notice message with php6 unicode ON.

--TEST--
test.phpt
--FILE--
<?php
$fh = fopen ("tempfile.tmp", "w" );
fwrite( $fh, "Sample text" );
fclose( $fh );
?>
--UEXPECT--

command:
php run-tests.php -u test.phpt
cat test.u.out

Following Notice is displayed:
Notice: `fwrite()`: 11 character unicode buffer downcoded for binary stream runtime_encoding in %s on line %d

There in no notice message with PHP6 unicode OFF, please would you confirm that the additional notices with Unicode on are intended? I think it will result in a large number of additional Notices if we use fwrite in a for loop.
 
Thanks & Regards
Nikhil

Hi,

yes, the notice is expected. You either have to cast to a binary string
or by setting the stream's encoding using stream_encode() since we can't
guess which encoding you're going to use for a stream.
