From PHP Manual: ... htmlentities... At present, the ISO-8859-1 character set is used.
I feel there is strong need to make htmlentities to support other charsets than ISO 8859-1. We, here
in Poland for instance, use ISO 8859-2. Many Western/USA freeware programs use (as they of course
should) htmlentities. Proper display of our diacritic chars is then impossible. We have to modify
sources, removing htmlentities or defining own functions. It's a waste of time and resources.
May I ask PHP developers to consider this issue?
