Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52424&edit=1 ID: 52424 Comment by: giorgio dot liscio at email dot it Reported by: php-bugs at majkl578 dot cz Summary: Function naming inconsistency: htmlentities() x html_entity_decode() Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Unknown/Other Function PHP Version: 5.3.3 New Comment: php functions uses a lot of different syntax isset is_array isPublic but aliasing is evil and renaming is not appreciated by users... the best thing you can do is implement your renamed function in your namespace bye Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-24 07:11:06] php-bugs at majkl578 dot cz Description: ------------ I suggest adding a function htmlentities_decode() as a replacement for html_entity_decode() and possibly deprecate that one. It is really misleading and unintuitive because there are functions htmlspecialchars() and htmlspecialchars_decode() doing similar thing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52424&edit=1
