I know about the ability to specify the last parameter encoding, but I do not have the ability to
change a lot of scripts already written.

Description:
------------
Function htmlspecialchars does not have compatibility with all scripts in non-unicode charset,
because it uses the default utf-8 encoding instead of the settings(php.ini). It's not a bug,
but not quite logical behavior.

--------------
I'm sorry, I not have opportunity to create patch differences, because I do not have necessary
software on my netbook. I hope, this guide will help you: http://pastebin.com/qCXNWxRh

Test script:
---------------
ini_set('default_charset','windows-1251');
echo htmlspecialchars('<h1>привет мир</h1>');

Expected result:
----------------
&lt;h1&gt;привет мир&lt;/h1&gt;

Actual result:
--------------
null string
