Bug #48645 mb_convert_encoding() doesn't understand hexadecimal html-entities
Submitted: 2009-06-22 14:47 UTC Modified: 2009-07-29 04:44 UTC
From: psc at webcraft dot ch Assigned: moriyoshi (profile)
Status: Closed Package: mbstring related
PHP Version: 5.* OS: Debian Lenny
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2009-06-22 14:47 UTC] psc at webcraft dot ch
Description:
------------
When converting a hexadecimal html entity to UTF-8 with mb_convert_encoding, it get's converted to a broken unicode character (displayed in firefox as a small square). 

Reproduce code:
---------------
$v_html = "š";
echo $v_html;
echo mb_convert_encoding($v_html, 'UTF-8', 'HTML-ENTITIES');
echo html_entity_decode($v_html, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');

Expected result:
----------------
I'd expect it to output three times the same character, š.

At first as hexadecimal html entity, then two times in UTF-8.

š??

Actual result:
--------------
š[something broken]?

This isn't actually a bug, as it wasn't implemented at all. (I don't know why the original implementer doesn't take account of it.)
