Note Submitter: cameron at prolifique dot com ---- I've been dissatisfied with all the solutions I've yet seen for converting text into html entities, which all seem to have some drawback or another. So I wrote my own, borrowing heavily from other code posted on this site. http://www.prolifique.com/entities.php.txt makeSafeEntities() should take any text, convert it from the specified charset into UTF-8, then replace all inappropriate characters with appropriate (and legal) character entities, returning generic ISO-8859 HTML text. Should NOT reconvert any entities already in the text. makeAllEntities() does the same, but converts the entire string to entities. Useful for obscuring email addresses (in a lame but nonetheless somewhat effective way). Suggestions for improvement welcome!
