Mantis - Quercus
Attached you find three PHP files, all of which are UTF-8 encoded:
- test4_db.php: Encapsulates database connection credentials (please edit first in order to reflect your correct database connection settings).
- test4_prep.php: Creates a new database and table in preparation to run the actual test. Should be run only once and only from standard PHP to see the results described below.
- test4.php: Runs the actual test. Should be run separately from standard PHP and from Quercus. -> Results are different in both engines - which is the problem.
Standard PHP output:
äöüáéóú
Quercus output:
&65533;&65533;&65533;&65533;&65533;&65533;
Effect: Drupal doesn't run properly if you use special characters in (for instance) node titles.
-----------------
What seems to be happening:
At some stage Quercus seems to assume to be handling ISO-8859-1 strings although:
- The sources are UTF-8.
- The database tables are UTF-8.
- In test4_db.php we explicitely instructed the DB connection to use UTF-8.
Nobody ever gives any sign there could be ISO strings, yet Quercus somewhere seems to handle them as such.
In Resin 3.2 I would've tried to change the database driver settings now. However, in Resin 4.0.0 Quercus is pre-configured (which is a great thing), and I would like to keep it this way. I think the default behaviour should be that Quercus is 100% compatible with PHP just "as is" without any special configuration. (You even claim that on your website.)
I hope I didn't miss anything on that issue. I checked the wikis and manuals for setting up Drupal as well as database configuration, previous error resports etc.
(I only found this:

It doesn't help though, since there is no manual Quercus Servlet configuration any more.)
