ID: 6859 Updated by: yohgaki Reported By: Federico@Pomi.net Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.2 New Comment: You can do more complicated thing with mbstring functions. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-22 21:37:29] Federico@Pomi.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=6859&edit=1
