RE: [PHP] Multiple replacements (WML/PHP)

I think this is exactly what you need. <? function wmlentities($str) { $chars = preg_split("//",$str); while(list($k,$v) = each($chars)) { switch (ord($v)) { case 34: // encode '"' $chars[$k] = "&#034;"; break; case 38: // encode '&' $chars[$k] = "&#038;"; break; case 60: // encode '<' $chars[$k] = "&#060;"; break; case 62: // encode '>' $chars[$k] = "&#062;"; break; default: // encode all other special characters if (ord($v) > 127) $chars[$k] = "&#".ord($v).";"; } } return(implode("",$chars)); } $test = "\"<&ÅÄöüaui>"; print wmlentities($test); ?> Cheers, Matthias
