I don't see the effect you're mentioning, but this is on FreeBSD, so
perhaps there's a problem on Windows. I don't really believe it,
though, and would hazard a guess you're running into display problems
with your browser.
Another thing to mention is that ASCII only goes up to 127. You may
desire for ASCII 241 to mean +/-, but n-tilde is also a popular
interpretation... Use a character set which actually includes +/- as a
single character, and an encoding that can handle that charset.
The following test fails in 5.2.1:
<?php
class serializeASCII241 extends Tence_TestCase
{
function testTruncates()
{
return $this->assertEquals(
"120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD",
serialize("120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD" . chr(241) . "RW VHP FR")
);
}
}
?>
