Description:
------------
I am using php 5.4, i got a trouble with htmlspecialchars, htmlentities.

php 5.4 default charset is utf-8.

i thought htmlspecialchars, htmlentities may be using utf-8 as default encoding,

but even i configured default_charset in my php.ini , the htmlspecialchars and htmlentities still
stupid using utf-8.

this is a bad expirence, my project is a little big, htmlspecialchars using every where, almost  3
million called.

i had no chance to specified encoding  by hand.


add encoding to each call of htmlspecialchars and htmlentities not possible, it is a huge change for
me .


for another solution, why not php let htmlspecialchars using encoding by php.ini settings?

is it a better way? is it friendly to users?

sorry for my bad english.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$string = '<pre><p>我是测试</p></pre>';

echo htmlspecialchars($string);
echo htmlspecialchars($string, NULL, 'GB2312');

Expected result:
----------------
htmlspecialchars should using charset defined by php.ini 

default_charset.
