Hi again Johannes,
Last one on this subject I promise...
If the script encoding doesn't match up with whatever's set in INI, I
don't get as far as that stuff anyway:Warning: Illegal or truncated character in input: offset 0, state=0 in
C:\sandbox\php-src\Debug_TS\help.php on line 5
You were right to point out that runtime encoding isn't reliable. (Now I
finally got the thing working in scripts here - there's something invisible
going on with UTF-8 somewhere down the line that had me confused for a
while.)
A call to zend_unicode_to_string_ex() that explicitly passes the fallback
converter should be good enough:
} else if (c == 'S' && Z_TYPE_PP(arg) != IS_NULL /* `NULL` is ok */) {
UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
zend_unicode_to_string_ex(UG(fallback_encoding_conv), p, pl,
Z_USTRVAL_PP(arg), Z_USTRLEN_PP(arg), &status);
if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
efree(p);
return "strictly a binary string";
}
break;
}
It doesn't make sense to set unicode.fallback_encoding at script level
because - as I wrote earlier - the parser may respond differently depending
on its value. If your INI fallback setting clashes with your script encoding
you can't override it locally. That being the case, I don't see how a
conversion that uses the fallback encoding can be wrong here.
