ID: 61354 User updated by: hufeng1987 at gmail dot com Reported by: hufeng1987 at gmail dot com Summary: htmlentities and htmlspecialchars doesn't respect the default_charset Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Strings related Operating System: Linux/Windows/ PHP Version: 5.4.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: you made one step, but kill the php programmer. do you know how much more code need to rewrite and check? if your change broken user programm, it's your lost, not the user's lost. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-05 04:20:02] ras...@php.net You will need to update your code to be compatible with PHP 5.4 either by explicitly providing the charset, or by passing in "" to pick up the default one. Anything short of that is a security issue. Code that didn't do this in PHP 5.3 is potentially insecure depending on which charset is being used, so no, nothing will be fixed here. We will not revert to 5.3 behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-05 03:55:08] hufeng1987 at gmail dot com Please fix it as soon as possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-05 03:53:35] leaflet at leafok dot com I am facing the same problem. After upgrading to PHP 5.4.10 in the product environment, all the GB2312 encoding data on the page became blank. This badly influenced the whole site. It is undoubtedly a backward compatible issue. Wish it could be resolved soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-28 17:36:29] rudibr at gmail dot com This is a serious backward incompatibility (and not even listed as such). I am also not able to upgrade to 5.4 because of this, and have advised all of my clients which I provide server consulting to do not upgrade as well. No defaults of any kind should be changed arbitrarily , without notice and without possibility of customization. It breaks code, and makes everyone affected very uneasy on any future relases. Like all here I hope this get the serious attention it should have gotten already. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-28 09:28:16] x dot bazilio at gmail dot com This is a bug. Just upgraded php and got empty string on many projects. I cant't change code in CMS, because i am not a developer of CMS. I am using CMS fore develop web sites. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
