Bug #3110 quoted_printable_decode _still_ doesn't work properly.

quoted_printable_decode still doesn't handle 'soft' line breaks or padding correctly.  If you want to see it fail, try running it on the encoded string given in RFC-1521 section 5.1 rule #5.  To save you the trouble this is what code to do that would look like.

<?
# the extra spaces and tabs after the '='s where added by
# me to demonstrate that they aren't handled properly either
# see rule 3 in the same section of the RFC
$string = "Now's the time =   \r\n";
$string .= "for all folk to come=\t \t \r\n";
$string .= " to the aid of their country.";
echo quoted_printable_decode($string);
?>

The = characters in the out put are not supposed to be there.

To save you some time, here is the patch I use to fix this problem.  It's a patch against 3.0.11.  But this function hasn't changed much (if at all) since then.

      }

I've also checked 4.0b3 and the bug exists there as well.

We are sorry, but we can not support PHP 3 related problems anymore.
Momentum is gathering for PHP 5, and we think supporting PHP 3 will
lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 5
ready. Of course PHP 4 will continue to be supported for the
forseeable future.
