Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66264&edit=1 ID: 66264 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: lyle dot mantooth at primasupply dot com Summary: htmlspecialchars_decode() does not take an encoding argument. Status: Open -Type: Documentation Problem +Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Documentation problem +Package: Strings related Operating System: Linux Mint PHP Version: 5.4.22 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Transmogrifying into a feature request: htmlspecialchars_decode() doesn't currently support a character set parameter (although the internal php_unescape_html_entities() function it calls does). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-11 14:41:21] lyle dot mantooth at primasupply dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.htmlspecialchars-decode --- Of all the functions that handle converting HTML entities to and from their character equivalents, htmlspecialchars_decode() is the only one that doesn't seem to care about the string encoding. * htmlspecialchars(), $encoding parameter added in PHP 4.1.0. * htmlentities(), $encoding parameter added in PHP 4.1.0. * html_entity_decode(), function added in PHP 4.3.0, presumably with $encoding parameter from the beginning. * hmtlspecialchars_decode(), function added in PHP 5.1.0, but no $encoding parameter. This may be only a documentation problem, but if it isn't, then it's a real problem working with this API without even knowing what the default encoding is. Did it change in PHP 5.4.0 for this function, like it did for the others? I still don't know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66264&edit=1
