note 89483 added to function.html-entity-decode

I just ran into the: Bug #27626 html_entity_decode bug - cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! The simple solution if you're still running PHP 4 is to wrap the html_entity_decode() function with the utf8_decode() function. <?php $string = '&nbsp;'; $utf8_string = utf8_decode(html_entity_decode($string)); ?> By default html_entity_decode() returns the ISO-8859-1 character set, and by default utf8_decode()... http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php "Converts a string with ISO-8859-1 characters encoded with UTF-8 to single-byte ISO-8859-1" ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 206.248.243.26 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89483 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89483/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89483/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89483/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89483/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89483/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89483/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89483 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89483 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
