Description:
------------
Setting for mbstring.func_overload in .htaccess is not reflected.

For information, this works in PHP 5.2.6, 
but does not work in 5.2.8 or 5.2.9 snapshot (22 Jan 2009).

In php.ini: 
    mbstring.func_overload = 0

In httpd.conf: 
    AllowOverride All

In $WEBROOT/test folder put .htaccess:
    php_value mbstring.func_overload 7





Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php phpinfo() ?>


Expected result:
----------------
mbstring.func_overload
    Local Value = 7
    Master Value = 0

Actual result:
--------------
mbstring.func_overload
    Local Value = 0
    Master Value = 0

It's not possible to change it in perdir configs anymore. Fix for bug #43227 changed this. Apparently Rui forgot to document it..:)

It seems I've same problem on debian etch, apache 2.2.3-4+etch6 & php 5.2.0-8+etch13. When I set mbstring.func_overload in .htaccess it don't override php value.

will this feature be available again in future versions of php or by patch? if not the documentation should be changed cause it still shows the old behaviour.

I read comment in php.ini
; overload(replace) single byte functions by mbstring functions.
; mail(), ereg(), etc are overloaded by mb_send_mail(), mb_ereg(),
; etc. Possible values are 0,1,2,4 or combination of them.
set mbstring.func_overload = 0,7
And all working well.
May be it wrong... but it's work.

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.

Sorry, I don't get it. Does this mean that a "fix" has issued the behavior that one cannot set the mbstring.* - options somewhere else than in the global php.ini - file(s) anymore and this will stay this way, because it's wanted behavior? I don't understand how to deal with this then, since there are several Applications out there which _require_ this to be set to 7 (eGroupware www.egroupware.org for example), since others require this to be disabled (like phpmyadmin www.phpmyadmin.net for example).
How should one deal with this?
 [2010-09-07 13:08 UTC] mail2010 at marc-richter dot info 
LOL ! ! ! ! !
I've not found this anywhere on the net, but I figured it out by try and error ;D
I think I've found the solution for everyone who has the problem to set different "mbstring.func_overload" - settings in different dirs:
Don't use php_value for setting this within your vhost - file: Simply use php_admin_value - this works! :D
But be aware of the fact that this cannot be used within a .htaccess - file. You have to insert s.th. like:
"php_admin_value mbstring.func_overload 7" inside your vhost - Files (between the <Directory></Directory> Area for example).

Man "mail2010 at marc-richter dot info" - you really help to me.

Big thx for you and other participants in the discussion. I don't understand r 
this solution true, but this work!

I've solved the problem with this additional lines in the 'httpd.conf' :

<Directory "/your_path/egroupware">
php_admin_value mbstring.func_overload 7
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/your_path/egroupware/rpc.php">
php_admin_value mbstring.func_overload 0
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>



That solved my problem. Don't make any changes at the 'mbtsring.func_overload'-line in the 'php.ini' or '.htaccess' -file
