#40762 [NEW]: xml_parser failed to parse mixed coding file

[forward at hongyu dot org]

From: forward at hongyu dot org
Operating system: Linux and Windows
PHP version: 5.2.1
PHP Bug Type: *XML functions
Bug description: xml_parser failed to parse mixed coding file

Description:
------------
My RSS parser failed after I upgrade the PHP version on my server from 4.x
to 5.2. When I debugged the code, I found the error was caused by the
xml_parse() function's failure to parse the UTF-8 encoded RSS message,
which is originally converted from a GB18030 string.

The error message looks like:
"Warning: xml_parse() [function.xml-parse]: input conversion failed due to
input error, bytes 0x9B 0xE6 ..."

The orginal GB encoded string consists of Chinese characters, but I
converted it to UTF-8 coding using function iconv(). I can view the
converted string correctly on web browsers, which means that there is no
converting error. So the failure only comes from xml_parse() function, I
believe.

For your testing purpose, an example of the original GB18030 string can be
downloaded at [url]http://www.la-chinese.com/forum/rss.php?f=19[/url]

Thanks!



Reproduce code:
---------------
// variable $gb contains the GB encoded string, e.g., from
// web address [url]http://www.la-chinese.com/forum/rss.php?f=19[/url]

// variable $utf contains the UTF-8 string converted from
// the original GB encoded string

$urf = iconv('GB18030','UTF-8', $gb);

// function feed_start_end and feed_end_element etc. are from
// the package Magpierss [url]http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/[/url]

xml_set_object( $parser, $this );
xml_set_element_handler($parser,
'feed_start_element', 'feed_end_element' );

xml_set_character_data_handler( $parser, 'feed_cdata' );

$status = xml_parse( $parser, $utf );


Expected result:
----------------
No error message.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: xml_parse() [function.xml-parse]: input conversion failed due to
input error, bytes 0x9B 0xE6 ...

You have to change this line in the XML, too
