Now it works.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php That's because the nbsp is actually encoded in UTF-8. Use the charset parameter to htmlentities() to tell it is us UTF-8. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-08 17:00:53] jordan dot w dot bradley at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When htmlentities is called, it puts a &Acirc; before any &nbsp; I'm using php-5.2.6-r7 which is the latest in Gentoo's portage tree. Reproduce code: --------------- print $_POST['breadcrumb_seperator'].'<br />'; print htmlentities($_POST['breadcrumb_seperator']); Expected result: ---------------- >> &nbsp;&gt;&gt;&nbsp; Actual result: -------------- >> &Acirc;&nbsp;&gt;&gt;&Acirc;&nbsp; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46256&edit=1
