Re: HTML equivalents of accented characters

To change "é" to "&eacute;" you need htmlentities(), not htmlspecialchars as the latter only translates ampersands (&), double quotes, less than en greater than characters (Single quotes are not translated by default). If htmlentities does not work, what does a var_dump on your $translationtable send back?
