Re: Displaying HTML characters in real format

Unless you have set the character encoding of the document to the same as what you have, say, in the database, you would have trouble showing, for example, your last name, with that umlaut. Anyway, I would read the comments for the function because I believe there are some issues beyond the characters handled by htmlspecialchars. I just prefer to set the character encoding compatible from end to end.

What characters other than the four (or five) NEED escaping, and why? /Nisse -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- No virus found in this incoming message.
