Smarty

[EXEMOK]

So, our production server upgraded to PHP 5.4.
Smarty version 3.1.15.

After that we have problems with Cyrilic letters in html_options

PHP code:

$arr = [
"индекс" => "значение",
"индекс1" => "значение1",
"index" => "value",
];


$smarty->assign('arr', $arr);
$smarty->display('test.tpl');


smarty code:
{html_options options=$arr name=a id=a}

html output is:

<select name="a" id="a">
<option value="" id="a-0"></option>
<option value="" id="a-1"></option>
<option value="index" id="a-2">value</option>
</select>


So no value when cyrylic letters.

Same code on php 5.2 works fine

Where to dig?

For example this code display russian letters correct:

{foreach from=$arr key=key item=item}
{$key}
{$item}
{/foreach}

So, I fixed it, probably strange way.

In PHP 5.4 behavior of html_specialchars() changed, and it is now UTF8 as default.

It is called in shared.escape_special_chars.php

The only solution I found is before starting SMARTY assign:
define('SMARTY_RESOURCE_CHAR_SET', 'cp1251');


If anybody knows more pretty solution - please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

As it looks like you did not store your PHP script file which does define your $arr array with Cyrilic strings in UTF-8 format..

htmlspecialchars() does now use the charset defined by 'SMARTY_RESOURCE_CHAR_SET' (default is UTF-

If you have Cyrilic quoted strings also in your PHP files, you must save the PHP files also in the charset of 'SMARTY_RESOURCE_CHAR_SET'.

[EXEMOK]

So, If I do not want (to much work right now) to change charset of PHP files is my solution - define('SMARTY_RESOURCE_CHAR_SET', 'cp1251') - right?

[U.Tews]

'SMARTY_RESOURCE_CHAR_SET' , the template source and PHP script files charsets must just be the same.

In shared.escape_special_chars.php
change

$string = htmlspecialchars($string);

to

$string = htmlspecialchars($string, ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401, 'cp1251');
