I tested with a Unicode character (≈ "almost equal") and it returned the character readable. Can be tested by passing html_entity_decode to htmlspecialchars and then echo'ing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-26 09:24:52] nospam at unclassified dot de Description: ------------ Trying to decode HTML entities into UTF-8 results in the following error message: Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! The line is repeated about 200 times, then html_entity_decode just uses ISO-8859-1 charset. Reproduce code: --------------- echo html_entity_decode("ü", ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8"); Expected result: ---------------- some UTF-8 encoding of 'ü' Actual result: -------------- error messages see above, then Latin-1 encoding of 'ü' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25670&edit=1
