Doc #61451 [NEW]: Document that the default character set change may break existing code

From: Operating system: n/a PHP version: 5.4.0 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Document that the default character set change may break existing code Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/migration54.incompatible --- The change of the default value of the $encoding parameter of html_entity_decode(), htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() may break existing code. (It does for me!) Thus it should be mentioned on the "Backward Incompatible Changes" page. (There is a remark on the "Other changes" page, but that remark omits html_entity_decode().) I propose adding this text as a list item: "The default value of the $encoding parameter of html_entity_decode(), htmlspecialchars(), and htmlentities() has been changed from 'ISO-8859-1' to 'UTF-8'."
