note 83168 deleted from function.htmlentities by danbrown

Note Submitter: eric at tillandsia dot nl ---- 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); }
