Description:
------------
On
http://uk.php.net/flock

text formatting goes screwy from the word "Klaus" onwards in the comments.

I see ?trong> at the end of that line using IE.

On Firefox the problem doesn't occur, but �ck appears at the end of the line.

Looks like the u-umlaut isn't having htmlentities applied.

PS I suggest that the "PHP Version" field in this bug reporting system be non-mandatory when "Type of bug" = "Documentation problem". I've set PHP version to 5.0.4 but this is totally irrelevant here: it's a documentation issue.

PHP manual is in UTF-8 now but user comments are in the single byte encoding. To fix it:

1. Convert old user notes from iso-8859-1 to utf-8.
2. Output add-note.php page in utf-8 to have new notes in the proper encoding.

Or: Leave user notes in iso-8859-1 and convert them in the time of output.

Jakub, I think that for an immediate solution, a simple utf8_encode() call would do on user note output. What do you (or anyone else) think?

This might be solveable by adding add-charset="UTF-8" to the form tag of the add user note page; anyway existing notes will not be corrected by that measure.

looks fixed.
