note 68365 added to function.htmlentities

important question: why does this script work in Firefox 1.5.0.4 and not in MS IE 6 ? <?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Demostration</title> </head> <body> <?php echo "<form action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\"method=\"post\">" ?> <p> Insert text here... <input type="text" name="textWritten" size="20" /> <input type="submit" name="send" value="send" /> </p> </form> <p> <?php if(isset($_POST['send'])) echo "you wrote: ".htmlentities($_POST['textWritten'], ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8"); ?> </p> </body> </html> in firefox the entities are ok while in explorer it seems the function htmlentities does not work! ---- Server IP: 213.92.11.19 Probable Submitter: 80.181.229.160 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.7 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_60_70,HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68365 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68365/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68365/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68365/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68365/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68365/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68365/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68365 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68365 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
