ID: 61354 Comment by: x dot bazilio 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: Ok. If i did not set defautlt time zone, i get E_WARNING. Let us set default encoding for htmlspecialchars. It is not posible to persuade developers of Drupal, joomla, wordpress, bitrix, ets., and developers of modules for that CMS to rewrite their code. I wrote to tech support of bitrix (russian cms). They said that i must use PHP 5.3.x. They not going to rewrite code. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-05 16:05:31] leaflet at leafok dot com I understand your consideration. Maybe a global configuration in PHP.ini or page lifecycle set function could be provided for encoding setting of these functions. Developers would be glad to handle this setting centrally by a include header file for each pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-05 15:17:56] ras...@php.net I have explained that a few times. We can't default it automatically because the encoding may not match the output encoding. Only the developer knows that. If we did that automatically it would break even more sites. The sites where the encodings differ need to set it explicitly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-05 09:54:44] hufeng1987 at gmail dot com pass null and empty string that could improve security? no sense.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-05 09:53:01] x dot bazilio at gmail dot com Please, fix it. It is so simple to provide default params. Wy should we put NULL and empty string? Where is security problem to not put NULL and empty string if they are will be default values of that params? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-05 04:40:26] ras...@php.net Code that is currently likely to be insecure, yes. We only make changes like this when we are forced to for security reasons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
