Description:
------------

Yes, this bug has been reported before (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25670).

And I know that it's fixed in PHP 5 but *please* can you backport the fix into PHP 4?

I'm sure it couldn't take too long and it is crucial to our work. It's simply not currently viable for us to move all our servers to PHP5 and it would be a massive task too test each of our sites etc.

We would be so grateful if you could do this.

-Alex

It's not a bug, it's a feature - we *might* want to port this to PHP 4.4, if we decide to come out with that...

I would say it's a bug, not a feature, the PHP manual documentation (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php) claims:

"Following character sets are supported in PHP 4.3.0 and later ... UTF-8"

Regardless, an official note in the documentation could be helpful. Are there currently any plans to release version 4.4, and when might this decision be be confirmed?

-Alex.

This will not be backported to PHP 4.4 - marking it as a doc problem.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

"This function doesn't support multi-byte character sets in PHP < 5."
