 Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request

Operating System: Win2000

 PHP Version:      4.1.1

New Comment: Although... I don't see why there shouldn't be unhtmlentities() or whatever.

2 person wrote the function. I vote +1, few others vote for -1. I also do not understand why others do not prefer to have consistency like If inverse-conversion is possible, it's better to have one. It's not a matter of easy to write, etc, issue. It's a basic best practice to follow, IMO. (PHP has many inconsistency, anyway!?) -- Yasuo Ohgaki

My original String was: Schlenger & Meilhamer and after the procedure with: $trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES); $str = "Schlenger & Meilhamer"; echo strtr($str, $trans); This is what i get: Schlenger & Meilhamer what i wanted to get: Schlenger & Meilhamer So, This does not work like i want it to. Regards, Maximilian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-13 06:54:47] derick@php.net I'm closing this, because you can do this: $trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES); $str = "Hallo & <Frau> & Krämer" $original = strtr($str, $trans); IMO, this does not warrant a new function. See also: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-html-translation-table.php Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-13 06:51:01] wez@php.net I will look into it. I'm not sure about the name though. html_entity_decode($string) ? --Wez. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
