(I recently compiled PHP 4.2.3 for Apache 1.3.26 under Solaris 8 using gcc 2.95.2 using the same process that I used for PHP 4.2.2. The only difference is that I also recompiled Apache with a newer version of mod_perl.)

When using the header( string[, bool[, int]] ) function with a string parameter of the form "Content-Type: text/...", where "..." is any valid type that I have so far attempted to use, the response headers sent by Apache contain only "Content-Type: text/html", or whatever the default_mimetype is. (I tried changing the default_mimetype in php.ini and confirmed that it was being used.) If "Content-Type: image/..." is used (for example) then Apache sends that Content-Type (i.e. only "text/..." seems to be affected). I am not certain that this is Apache 1.3.26/mod_php4-specific because I have not yet tested with other web servers. This did not appear to occur in PHP 4.2.2, which is what we were running last Friday.

After browsing CVS diffs, I suspect that this is not Apache/mod_php4-specific. I see a lot of changes (between 4.2.2 and 4.2.3) in php4/ext/mbstring/mbstring.c and php4/main/SAPI.c.

Commonplace effects of this problem: formatted monospace text appears as run-on proportionally-spaced text ('text/html' sent instead of 'text/plain'); Mozilla doesn't recognise stylesheets (requires 'text/css').

Specifying an explicit charset in PHP scripts causes the desired header to be sent:

header( "Content-Type: text/plain" ); # has no effect
header( "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=blah" ); # gets sent

See also bug #19098. Can confirm that workaround posted by <skamp@skamp.org> works for me. <sniper@php.net> indicates problem probably fixed in CVS.
