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.

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.

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.

because use htmlspecialchars($text,NULL,""); can make works fine;

so php Developer can fix this bug in this easy way:
just make "omitted encoding" works like encoding with "", and all things will 
be 
ok.

another fix way in code is that:
use htmlspecialchars($text,NULL,"")
not need to add "utf8" "cp936",  or other in "", just leave "" blank, it will 
use 
the current page's encoding like no this bug.

the post above is wrong,change from "Non Thread Safe" to "Thread Safe" cant fix 
it.

right fix way:
so guys above can change to windows + iis + isapi module + php, or windows + 
Apache + fastcgi/isapi module + php, can fix this bug.

I just test, only windows + iis + fastcgi + php will show the bug.
in isapi module or windows + Apache + fastcgi + php works fine.

and I test that,the bug maybe because of iis fastcgi.
in this case, Zend Multibyte Support allways be "provided by mbstring", even if 
I change zend.multibyte to off or on, it still "provided by mbstring".
in phpinfo() show below:

mbstring
Multibyte Support  enabled  
Multibyte string engine  libmbfl  
HTTP input encoding translation  disabled  
libmbfl version  1.3.2  

mbstring extension makes use of "streamable kanji code filter and converter", 
which is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. 

Multibyte (japanese) regex support  enabled  
Multibyte regex (oniguruma) version  4.7.1  

and I use this code to test on windows + iis6 + fastcgi + php:

echo(mb_internal_encoding());// show ISO-8859-1, right
$text = "我是测试";//use cp936 chinese chars
$ary[] = "ASCII";
$ary[] = "JIS";
$ary[] = "CP936";
$ary[] = "UTF-8";
echo mb_detect_encoding($text, $ary);//show cp936, right
mb_detect_order($ary);//set detect order
echo(htmlspecialchars($text));//show enmty, wrong !!!
echo mb_detect_encoding(htmlspecialchars($text), $ary);//show ASCII(not the guy 
think is utf8), wrong 
echo(mb_internal_encoding());// show ISO-8859-1, not change, right

this test can show us that, all things goes right except htmlspecialchars(), 
where is the "ASCII" from? maybe iis6 + fastcgi cause this bug. but it's really 
a php bug.

 New Comment:

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.

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.


[2013-01-05 04:26:39] hufeng1987 at gmail dot com

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.
