Description:
------------
The "URL Generic Syntax" specification (RFC 2396) says that URLs must
be US-ASCII. However, the PHP urlencode/decode functions return/accept
binary data only. I think the correct behaviour would be to use Unicode
(which is a superset of ASCII) for the encoded values.
(This might affect some other URL-related functions, but
urlencode/urldecode are the only ones that I know)
See also bug 45566 . Since it's quite likely for urldecode's input to
come from the $_SERVER superglobal, I think either both or none of the
bugs should be fixed.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo urldecode("%50%48%50\n");
Expected result:
----------------
PHP
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning: urldecode() expects parameter 1 to be strictly a binary
string, Unicode string given in - on line 3
Warning: urldecode() expects parameter 1 to be strictly a binary
string, Unicode string given in - on line 3
