Bug #77025 mb_strpos throws Unknown encoding or conversion error
Submitted: 2018-10-16 22:01 UTC Modified: 2018-10-17 13:29 UTC
From: vs-php-bugs at schukai dot com Assigned: nikic (profile)
Status: Closed Package: mbstring related
PHP Version: 7.3.0RC3 OS: debian/stretch
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
the following code works as expected

php7.2 -r "echo \mb_stripos('Hello', 'e', 0, '8bit');"
> 1

in 7.3, however, a error is thrown

php7.3 -r "echo \mb_strpos('Hello', 'e', 0, '8bit');"
> php error

alternatively, mb_stripos does not write any output

php7.3 -r "echo \mb_stripos('Hello', 'e', 0, '8bit');"
> empty result

the following code works with iso-8859-1

php7.3 -r "echo \mb_stripos('Hello', 'e', 0, 'iso-8859-1');"


php7.3 -r "print_r(mb_list_encodings());" contains 8bit and iso-8859-1

Array
(
    [0] => pass
    [1] => auto
    [2] => wchar
    [3] => byte2be
    [4] => byte2le
    [5] => byte4be
    [6] => byte4le
    [7] => BASE64
    [8] => UUENCODE
    [9] => HTML-ENTITIES
    [10] => Quoted-Printable
    [11] => 7bit
    [12] => 8bit
    [13] => UCS-4
    [14] => UCS-4BE

7.2/php.ini and 7.3/php.ini are identical

I'm wondering what the meaning of the 8bit encoding is actually supposed to be. Right now, it essentially seems to be behave the same as ISO-8859-1. It maps code units \x00-\xFF to Unicode codepoints U+0 - U+FF, which will then also be subject to case-conversions as such:

$A = "\xc4"; // Ä in ISO-8859-1
$a = "\xe4"; // ä in ISO-8859-1
echo mb_stripos($a, $A, 0, '8bit'); // 0

Is it supposed to work that way?

yes, that seems to be the case at 7.2.

$A = "\xc4"; // Ä in ISO-8859-1
$a = "\xe4"; // ä in ISO-8859-1
echo mb_stripos($a, $A, 0, '8bit'); // 0


I think that at 8bit (strpos) no conversion should take place:

echo mb_strpos($a, $A, 0, '8bit'); // false
