note 83168 added to function.htmlentities

I don't know, but I get a lott of warnings about unknown html entities when I use the function: htmlentities($str,HTML_ENTITIES,'UTF-8') The function below works fine for me, just a replacement by a decimal coding. A str_replace for each possible latin character in a string as in an earlier example using a hash table is slowing down the script, because you go through the string for each latin character again. In the example below, you will go through it only once. function parseXMLcoding($string) { if ( strlen($string) == 0 ) return $string; $string = preg_split("//", $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); for ( $i = 0; $i < count($string); $i++ ) { $dec = ord($string[$i]); if ( $dec > 127 ) $string[$i] = '&#' . $dec . ';'; } return implode('',$string); } ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.135 Probable Submitter: 82.171.91.154 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83168 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83168/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83168/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83168/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83168/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83168/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83168/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83168 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83168 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
