Description: ------------ When using the the declare encoding statement in your php script, you will get an fatal error, when you try to include a subscript with a defined encoding. This only happens with php5.3.x version that was compiled with '--enable-zend-multibyte' When i'm using a php5.3.x version WITHOUT '--enable-zend-multibyte', there is no fatal error. And everything works as expected. Reproduce code: --------------- i used a php5.3.1 with '--enable-zend-multibyte' just try to call the index.php binary index.php file: <?php declare(encoding='UTF-8'); namespace marcotest; require_once('sub.inc.php'); ?> sub.inc.php file: <?php declare(encoding='UTF-8'); namespace marcotest; echo "TEST"; //phpinfo(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- NO FATAL ERROR... ( Same result as WITHOUT '--enable-zend-multibyte' ) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Encoding declaration pragma must be the very first statement in the script in /home/mweber/public_html/sub.inc.php on line 2
