#34577 [Com]: get_html_translation_table is missing a lot of xHTML entities

ID: 34577 Comment by: morgan at forsalebyowner dot com Reported By: mark_meredith at shaw dot ca Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4.2 PHP Version: 5.0.5 New Comment: Ran into this problem while trying to generate an xml document using the DomDocument object. The DomDocument->saveXML gives an error when certain characters within the document, specially the right-single-quotation (U+2019) and several other characters. An attempt to convert the entities to HTML using htmlentities failed because the characters are not in the html_translation_table. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-21 11:35:43] mark_meredith at shaw dot ca Description: ------------ Some special characters, Symbols, and Latin-1 chararacters. Are missing from get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES,ENT_QUOTES) The xhtml Special character lsquo and rsquo (left and right single quote are missing for instance). And a lot of entities from the W3C provided xhtml-symbol.ent, xhtml- special.ent, and xhtml-lat1.ent files are missing. You can download these files from http://www.w3.org/TR/ xhtml1/dtds.html It also seems strange how all of this was implemented considering there are three files of entities. There really should be 3 separate functions for converting these characters to their entity equivalents as well as one function that will convert all entities. Reproduce code: --------------- print('<pre>'.print_r(get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES,ENT_QUOTES),1).'</pre>'); /*:NOTE: then compare to the contents of the entity files located at http://www.w3.org/TR/ xhtml1/dtds.html*/ Expected result: ---------------- Should have every known entity, and divisions between what type of entity it is. Actual result: -------------- Is missing a lot of entities like &rsquo; from xhtml- special.ent ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34577&edit=1
