note 91895 added to function.htmlentities

Hello, I found a great function when you need a way to encode content from the database as numeric entity references, as that’s a safe way to use high characters and special characters in an xml document, like in an RSS feed. function xml_character_encode($string, $trans='') { $trans = (is_array($trans)) ? $trans : get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES); foreach ($trans as $k=>$v) $trans[$k]= "&#".ord($k).";"; return strtr($string, $trans); } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 189.153.69.201 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91895 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91895/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91895/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91895/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91895/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91895/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91895/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91895 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91895 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
