Bug description: Treatment of ' in htmlspecialchars() funcation
Regarding htmlspecialchars() function
What's going on with this function regarding the treatment of single '. I've tried
using the optional second parameter ENT_COMPAT, and I get an error message saying "wrong number
of parameters". This is with version 4.0.2.
If you don't use the parameter, ' gets converted to #039; . This is in contrast to what is
shown in the online documentation.
I'm just using a simple function call:
$str = htmlspecialchars($str);
Regards,
Andrew
