Description

« Hide

We have some strange behaviour with Zend_Filter_Alnum &
Zend_Filter_Alpha since ZF 1.5. Everything works correct by using ZF 1.0.4.

By folowing code line
echo Zend_Filter_Alnum::filter("Lüge"); // in utf-8 encoding
delivers Lge instead of Lüge until ZF 1.0.x the result was correct.

Corresponding code block in Zend/Filter/Alnum.php:
<code>
if (!self::$_unicodeEnabled) { // POSIX named classes are not supported, use alternative a-zA-Z0-9 match $pattern = '/[^a-zA-Z0-9' . $whiteSpace . ']/'; } else if (extension_loaded('mbstring')) { // Unicode safe filter for the value with mbstring $pattern = '/[^[:alnum:]' . $whiteSpace . ']/u'; } else {
// Unicode safe filter for the value without mbstring
$pattern = '/[^\p{L}\p{N}' . $whiteSpace . ']/u';
}
</code>

The problem is we have the mbstring enabled and this line don't work
$pattern = '/[^[:alnum:]' . $whiteSpace . ']/u';
but this line
$pattern = '/[^\p{L}\p{N}' . $whiteSpace . ']/u';
The internal-encoding is correctly set to UTF-8.

The question is why the [:alnum:] line don't work, and why it is useful to handle on another way if the extension is enabled ?

Hello, Dominik.
Is the mbstring extension used in German ?

In the last version, before changing in ~~ZF-2107~~, only "^\p{L}\p{N}" pattern is used.

But I found it causes error in Japanese. The problem is all character of Japanese is passed.
So, I changed because I thought mbstring extension used only in the language that has many multibyte characters.

But if the mbstring extension used in German , (or Czeck, Polish...etc) ~~ZF-2107~~ happens your problems.

Do you have any idea instead of using "if (extension_loaded('mbstring'))" ?
It seems to be better if we use language location in if statement.

Hello Satoru,

sorry for my late answer.

I don't think mbstring extension is used in German, it shouldn't. But the mbextension often is installed by default.

I think we should add a second condition to the if statement, maybe something that asks if the default zend_locale is japanese.

Best regards
Dominik

Hello, Dominik.
Thank you for your reply.

Ok, I try to add some condition by using Zend_Locale.

I have same problem with russian characters:

$filter = new Zend_Filter_Alnum(true);  
Zend_Debug::dump($filter->filter('это странненько - mbstring enabled'));  
//string(19) "   mbstring enabled"{/code}

$filter = new Zend_Filter_Alnum(true);
Zend_Debug::dump($filter->filter('это странненько - mbstring disabled'));
//string(48) "это странненько mbstring disabled"{/code}

In my case $pattern = '/[^[:alnum:]' . $whiteSpace . ']/u'; is used by filter.
