fRequest::get and php 5.3.6 not returning a result

posted by darren 8 years ago

Hi Guys,

I have just upgraded to php 5.3.6 and am using the lastest version of flourish.

fRequest::get() no longer returns a result and have tracked it down to the fUTF8::clean() method.

at line 622 the iconv seems to be the issue...

echo $value; //returns the value
$value = iconv('UTF-8', 'UTF-8' . (self::$can_ignore_invalid ? '//IGNORE' : ''), (string) $value);
echo $value; //returns nothing

(

Thanks,

Darren

**EDIT**

Further investigation reveals that it does not like the //IGNORE and changing it to the following works...

$value = iconv('UTF-8', 'UTF-8', (string) $value);

Can you tell me what operating system you are running on and what the output of the following code is?

echo ICONV_IMPL;

I am guessing you are probably using MAMP. Some other users have experienced a pretty critical bug in MAMP where the iconv extension is broken. Please see ticket #646 for more details.

Hi WB,

Sorry for the late reply...

I am using IBM AIX 5.3 and the echo statement above produces

IBM iconv

If you need me to do anything else please let me know.

Thanks,

Darren

Can you try using r1018 or newer? I made some changes that fixed issues with iconv() there for MAMP, and hopefully it will fix it for you also.

Actually, looking at this a little longer, I'm pretty sure that fix won't help you. I believe the issue is that IBM's iconv implementation doesn't support the //IGNORE flag. I'll commit a new revision that should fix it.

Ok, this should be fixed for you in r1022.
