note 88169 added to function.htmlentities

Had a heck of a time to get my rss entities right. using htmlentities didn't work and using html_entity_decode didn't work either. Ended up writing a custom function to encode and decode. It might still need some work but I thought to share it because I couldn't find anything on the net. Always open for suggestions to improve it! Here it is: $entity_custom_from = false; $entity_custom_to = false; function html_entity_decode_encode_rss($data) { global $entity_custom_from, $entity_custom_to; if(!is_array($entity_custom_from) || !is_array($entity_custom_to)){ $array_position = 0; foreach (get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES) as $key => $value) { //print("<br />key: $key, value: $value <br />\n"); switch ($value) { // These ones we can skip case '&nbsp;': break; case '&gt;': case '&lt;': case '&quot;': case '&apos;': case '&amp;': $entity_custom_from[$array_position] = $key; $entity_custom_to[$array_position] = $value; $array_position++; break; default: $entity_custom_from[$array_position] = $value; $entity_custom_to[$array_position] = $key; $array_position++; } } } return str_replace($entity_custom_from, $entity_custom_to, $data); } ---- Server IP: 216.235.13.26 Probable Submitter: 137.186.214.115 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/88169 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88169/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88169/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88169/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88169/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88169/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88169/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88169 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/88169 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
