Bug #18706 Bug in imap_utf7_decode()

Function imap_utf7_decode() in PHP v4.2.2 has bug when IMAP folder name has non ASCII characters.
Script 'test_utf7.php3' is attached to this posting to illustrate this bug.

According PHP documentation imap_utf7_decode() returns "the decoded 8bit data", but documentation says nothing about encoding of returned "8bit data". When I try decode folder with name 'test&AN9ZJw-', imap_utf7_decode() returns following string:

0x74, 0x65, 0x73, 0x74, 0x00, 0xDF, 0x59, 0x27

It looks as UTF-16 (UCS-2) string with missed '0x00' for ASCII characters. If I'm right and imap_utf7_decode() returns UTF-16 string, this string should be represented as:

0x00, 0x74, 0x00, 0x65, 0x00, 0x73, 0x00, 0x74, 0x00, 0xDF, 0x59, 0x27

To fix this this problem I wrote patch for ext/imap/php_imap.c and attache it to this posting.

Best regards,
Gamid Isayev

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
