Hi,

I haven't tested it but first the patch from Steffen was commited 
already in march and should be included in TYPO3 v.4.28 and second 
concerning php there was also a patched version released in january 
already so the patch should be included in Version 5.10.

On both pages the patch was closed each with an own solution.

Best Regards
David
