From: Federico@Pomi.net Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Need for a conversion table like HTMLENTITIES but with ASCII values. The htmlentities() function is a nice tool to convert "strange" letters to literal html entities that every browser is able to understand. The problem comes with WAP phones. With WML, you can't use most of the html entities: there are just 7 or 8 entities, while all the others are missing. The solution is to write the "strange letters" with their ASCII value. Check the note I added to the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/function.htmlentities.php My feature request is: a builtin table for the conversion of "strange letters" to ASCII value entities.
