Description:
------------
MBstring appears to incorrectly map some characters for the following ISO-8859 charsets, as follows:

Encoding: ISO-8859-7
  incorrect mapping of char 0xa4: got 0x3f, expected 0x20ac
  incorrect mapping of char 0xa5: got 0x3f, expected 0x20af
  incorrect mapping of char 0xaa: got 0x3f, expected 0x37a
Encoding: ISO-8859-8
  incorrect mapping of char 0xaf: got 0x203e, expected 0xaf
  incorrect mapping of char 0xfd: got 0x3f, expected 0x200e
  incorrect mapping of char 0xfe: got 0x3f, expected 0x200f
Encoding: ISO-8859-10
  incorrect mapping of char 0xa4: got 0x124, expected 0x12a

This is based on the mappings provided at ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/ISO8859/ on 25th Oct 2004. 

Note, there are undated comments in the "Version history" for the above files, as follows:

8859-7:
#	2.0 version updates 1.0 version by adding mappings for the
#	three newly added characters 0xA4, 0xA5, 0xAA.

8859-8:
#       1.1 version updates to the published 8859-8:1999, correcting
#          the mapping of 0xAF and adding mappings for LRM and RLM.

8859-10:
#       1.1 corrected mistake in mapping of 0xA4

So I guess these mappings have changed since mbstring was first written. I'm not sure if there would be a backward-compatability problem if the mappings were changed.

Thanks

Dave

Hello David,

can you please make a *short* script that show that the warnings are wrong as it takes quite some time to figure out what your script is exactly doing.

regards,
Derick

oops, minor bug in that script. Line 35 should read:

            printf("  incorrect mapping of char 0x%x: got 0x%x, expected 0x%x\n", $fromChar, $unicodeCharNumber[''], $expectChar);

Corrected version of script for your cut+paste convenience:

<?php

testMapping('ISO-8859-7',
            array(
                0xa4=>0x20ac,
                0xa5=>0x20af,
                0xaa=>0x37a)
            );

testMapping('ISO-8859-8',
            array(
                0xaf=>0xaf,
                0xfd=>0x200e,
                0xfe=>0x200f)
            );

testMapping('ISO-8859-10',
            array(
                0xa4=>0x12a
                )
            );

function testMapping($targetEncoding, $map) {
    print "Encoding: $targetEncoding\n";

    foreach($map as $fromChar=>$toChar) {
        $expectChar = $toChar;

        // convert to UCS-4, which represents every possible unicode
        // char as a single fixed width 32bit value
        $unicodeChar=mb_convert_encoding(chr($fromChar), 'UCS-4LE', $targetEncoding);
        $unicodeCharNumber = unpack('L', $unicodeChar);
        
        if ($expectChar!=$unicodeCharNumber[''] and ($expectChar!=0 and $unicodeCharNumber!=0x3f)) {
            printf("  incorrect mapping of char 0x%x: got 0x%x, expected 0x%x\n", $fromChar, $unicodeCharNumber[''], $expectChar);
        }
    }
}
