note 102863 added to function.html-entity-decode

I wanted to replace entities for use in a plain text email and html_entity_decode() ignored '‘' and '’'. I dug around and found some ideas under get_html_translation_table: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-html-translation-table.php I took the ideas of 'yes at king22 dot com' - 10-Apr-2007 03:33 and 'Maurizio Siliani at trident dot it' - 20-Jul-2007 03:43 to make a fast replacement of chars missed by html_entity_decode(). Here it is: /* convert html entities to strings */ function htmlEntitiesToStrings($deCodeThis){ return str_replace( array('‚', 'ƒ', '„', '…', '†', '‡', 'ˆ', '‰', 'Š', '‹', 'Œ', '‘', '’', '“', '”', '•', '–', '—', '˜', '™', 'š', '›', 'œ', 'Ÿ'), array(chr(130), chr(131), chr(132), chr(133), chr(134), chr(135), chr(136), chr(137), chr(138), chr(139), chr(140), chr(145), chr(146), chr(147), chr(148), chr(149), chr(150), chr(151), chr(152), chr(153), chr(154), chr(155), chr(156), chr(159)), html_entity_decode($deCodeThis) ); } It works great! ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 128.223.36.39 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/102863 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102863/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102863/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102863/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102863/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102863/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102863/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102863 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/102863 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
