Description with HTML Link

[ucola]

As first, many thanks for this parser! Works fine and fast!

Description of the Issue:

We have on our description some HTML Code i.e. <a href link from Microsoft Teams. If I check the ics file, it is inside. Possible that I can read out the description with HTML Code?

Steps to Reproduce:

Parse a ics file with html code inside the description tag.

I found out, that this appears in the code below. Any idea how to solve this?

protected function unfold(array $lines)
    {
        $string = implode(PHP_EOL, $lines);
        $string = preg_replace('/' . PHP_EOL . '[ \t]/', '', $string);

        $lines = explode(PHP_EOL, $string);

        return $lines;
    }

As per the issue template which has not been filled in, for me to do any investigation, I need the offending iCal.

With regards to why the unfold() method exists, please see iCalendar RFC 5545.

Thank you for your feedback, I only can send you the VEVENT. Enough for investigation?

I'm a little confused. There's no valid HTML in your description. e.g. <https://aka.ms/Join TeamsMeeting> is not an "a href link". Either way, the parser isn't altering the description and the unfold() method is working as expected spitting out what it gets in.

[ucola]

hi @u01jmg3 your right, sorry my fault... its not a valid html link and I check it out right now again. The file function (see bellow) strips out some characters from the URL.

if (($lines = file($filename, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES, $context)) === false) {

The original ICS contains the string below inside the description

teilzunehmen<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZD

 6e02-c3e9-48e3-a71a-c7d319f2481b%22%7d>\nWeitere 

But the $lines contains this string bellow. The question now, why did "files" remove some of the whole URL?

and after this step, the unfold remove the last piece of URL... How you see, the content inside this description is a Microsoft Teams invite. Would be nice, if we can have this description like it is.

[u01jmg3]

I'm not quite sure what you expect your chosen browser to render when it's invalid HTML.

If I wrap the output of printData() with htmlspecialchars(), the description is as expected.

[ucola]

ok all right, thats a good option to solve the issue... So I will use it and create my own html link with this. thank you for the support!
