Summary

0003400: Setting "unicode.semantics = on" in php.ini fails WordPress

Description

I am trying to run WordPress for a blog that uses Unicode strings.

However, in the normal setup procedure for WordPress, on the first (and only) configuration screen - choosing a blog name that contains Unicode characters (e.g. "&0001494;&0001488;&0001514; &0001489;&0001491;&0001497;&0001511;&0001492;") results in the blog name appearing as question-marks after WordPress is installed.

I figured this has something to do with Unicode support, so I tried using Quercus with a custom php.ini file and set "unicode.semantics = on".

This, however, results in WordPress installation failing with the following error:
/opt/SDK/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/blog/wp-load.php:43: Fatal Error: 'ABSPATH/wp-includes/classes.php' is not a valid path

If the php.ini file exists, but that specific "unicode.semantics = on" line is omitted, the installation succeeds (however, the blog name issue happens).

It seems as if setting unicode.semantics screws the working directory, or some other weird phenomena along these lines...

I am attaching my WEB-INF directory (with web.xml and php.ini).

Configuration:
Linux
Sun's Java EE5 SDK - latest version (GlassFish V2.1)
Quercus - latest SVN version
WordPress - latest version (2.7.1)

Notes
(0003911) dl 03-20-09 06:45	Mantis messed up the Unicode blog title I supplied. You can simply browse to http://he.wordpress.org/ [^] and use as blog title any Hebrew word you see on the main page.
