Newsgroups php.bugs
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From:             
Operating system: Windows
PHP version:      5.3.2
Package:          mbstring related
Bug Type:         Bug
Bug description:Incorrect result

Description:
------------
When using mb_detect_encoding, depending on how many é characters - or any
character above 127 - are present in the string, the detected charset is
not consistent and then sometimes wrong.

Test script:
---------------
// little example
php -r "echo mb_detect_encoding(\"é\", 'UTF-8,ISO-8859-1');"
php -r "echo mb_detect_encoding(\"éé\", 'UTF-8,ISO-8859-1');"


// real life example
php -r "echo mb_detect_encoding(\"Produit commandé\",
'UTF-8,ISO-8859-1');"
php -r "echo mb_detect_encoding(\"Société\", 'UTF-8,ISO-8859-1');"


Expected result:
----------------
ISO-8859-1
ISO-8859-1
ISO-8859-1
ISO-8859-1

Actual result:
--------------
UTF-8
ISO-8859-1
UTF-8
ISO-8859-1
