It seems that the wddx_*() functions only handle US-ASCII, although I see a referense to ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 in the source:

   print wddx_deserialize(wddx_serialize_value("xyz???"));

produces:

   xyz???

Works fine for me with latest CVS. Try a snapshot from
http://snaps.php.net/

No, it still doesn't work here. I got the latest (oct 31) snap from snaps.php.net:

  # ./configure --with-xml --enable-wddx
  # make
  # ./php wddx_test.php
  X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.0-dev
  Content-type: text/html

  xyz???

wddx_test.php contains the one-liner submitted in my original report:
  print wddx_deserialize(wddx_serialize_value("xyz???"));

What are your:

- linux distribution
- configure line for PHP

1. Linux distribution is Slackware 4.0 which is a libc 5 dist. Running kernel 2.2.19

2. configure --with-xml --enable-wddx

Propably your locales again. Anyway, what does this output:

<?php echo wddx_serialize_value("xyz???"); ?>

Nowhere in the docs is it mentioned that wddx-functions are affected by locale settings. But experimenting with setlocale() reveals that it is indeed a locale issue:

<?php
   print wddx_serialize_value("xyz???") . "\n";
   setlocale(LC_ALL, "sv_SE");
   print wddx_serialize_value("xyz???");
?>

produces:

<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data><string>xyz<char code='FFFFFFE5'/><char code='FFFFFFE4'/><char code='FFFFFFF6'/></string></data></wddxPacket>
<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data><string>xyz???</string></data></wddxPacket>

If this is correct, ie wddx*() _should_ be affected by locale, then I suggest that it be described in the docs as soon as possible!

Thanks for your work and patience,
