note 92104 added to function.htmlentities

If you want something simple that actually works, try this. Strips MS word and other entities and returns a clear data string: //call this function function DoHTMLEntities ($string) { $trans_tbl[chr(145)] = '‘'; $trans_tbl[chr(146)] = '’'; $trans_tbl[chr(147)] = '“'; $trans_tbl[chr(148)] = '”'; $trans_tbl[chr(142)] = 'é'; $trans_tbl[chr(150)] = '–'; $trans_tbl[chr(151)] = '—'; return strtr ($string, $trans_tbl); } //insert your string variable here $foo = str_replace("\r\n\r\n","",htmlentities($your_string)); $foo2 = str_replace("\r\n"," ",$foo); $foo3 = str_replace(" & ","&",$foo2); echo DoHTMLEntities ($foo3); ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 68.62.120.75 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92104 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92104/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92104/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92104/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92104/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92104/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92104/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92104 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92104 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
