note 102871 added to function.htmlspecialchars

Please note that this function results in an E_WARNING when display_errors is off and an invalid multibyte string is passed to it (e.g. with 'utf-8' as the encoding parameter and broken utf-8 characters somewhere in the string). This is ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT if you have an EXCEPTION-THROWING ERROR HANDLER, since even though you can't reproduce it in a development mode where display_errors is on, you MUST wrap your function call in a try-catch, or your application will crash. [ The reason PHP makes this distinction is because this is a core function and many production servers are misconfigured to have display_errors on (to prevent such things as path disclosure from error messages from accidentally cropping up).
