note 73549 added to function.htmlentities

I had to make links to files with special characters in their (iso-8859-1) filenames from a utf-8 page. No combination of htmlentities or utf8_decode/utf8_encode seemed to help, so finally I wrote this function to get the links to work. Maybe it's useful to someone else as well: <?php function MakeURISafe($s, $charset) { // works only for $charset == 'ISO-8859-1'; global $charhex; if ($charset == 'ISO-8859-1') { if (!isset($charhex)) { $charhex = array(); for ($i=32; $i<256; $i++) { $charhex[chr($i)] = '%'.strtoupper(dechex($i)); } } return strtr($s, $charhex); } } ?> ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.120 Probable Submitter: 84.27.238.184 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73549 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73549/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73549/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73549/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73549/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73549/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73549/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73549 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73549 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
