Bug #28067 partially incorrect utf8 to htmlentities mapping
Submitted: 2004-04-19 20:46 UTC Modified: 2005-03-09 11:13 UTC
From: BenJin at gmx dot de Assigned: derick (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Strings related
PHP Version: 4CVS, 5CVS (2005-03-01) OS: *
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
During some doublecheck after Bug #28042 was closed, I discovered some more mistakes in that file. I just checked the UTF-8 tables, don't know if the other charsets are wrong, too.

In Bug #28042, We forgot two letters of the greek table, 'upsih' and 'piv', which are spelled with an 'i' as in ice instead of '1'.

Also there are some NULLs missing at several points. This causes htmlentities(,,"UTF-8") to convert UTF-8 encoded chars into the wrong or into no HTML-Entities since the mappings are shifted. For example U+202F is mapped to ‰ which should be U+2030.

Here is my diff of the php5-cvs/ext/standard/html.c, the same modifications should be made in php-4.3, please double check

Additionally I wonder, if it's wise to map those high (Most of the ent_uni_8592_9002, but not all) Unicode chars to non HTML-standards compliant entities. Not all browsers might interpret them correct. Probably it would be better to implement a function, which maps them to hexadecimal values like &x8661; instead of ⇕ (These are in ISO and SGML-Standards but not in HTML)

sorry, please be careful when using the diff, have to learn to copy and paste correctly )-;

the diff ends after the first:

Hello,

can you please mail this patch to me, as the bug system garbled it a bit.

regards,

received the patch, but it doesn't look 100% correct so I need to so some investigations.

Code is still uncomplete, will send testfile to sniper and derick

I didn't get that one, can you provide a link to it from this bugreport please?

Sorry I dont't have web or ftp space at the moment.
I have resent you the E-mail. This time I compressed the files, so it is much smaller. Hope you get it this time.
