#49407 [Opn]: get_html_translation_table(): it doesn't output table for htmlentities in utf-8

ID: 49407 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: thomas at landauer dot at Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem -Operating System: All +Operating System: * PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: There is no such OS called "All". Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-29 18:33:29] thomas at landauer dot at Description: ------------ get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES) lists the tranlation table used by htmlentities *when no charset parameter is given*. htmlentities($string, ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8') encodes more characters than get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES) contains!! So I suggest either: *) Add a charset parameter to get_html_translation_table() - corresponding to htmlentities() Or *) Correct the documentation. E.g.: get_html_translation_table() will return the translation table that is used internally for htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() when no charset parameter is given. Note: If htmlentities() is called with a charset parameter, it converts more characters than get_html_translation_table() shows. Currently, there is no way to display the translation table which is used in that case. Reproduce code: --------------- htmlentities('∫', ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); // returns ∫ print_r(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES)); // ∫ is not listed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49407&edit=1
