Missing some chars like german umlauts after use of htmlspecialchars? That's because the third param encoding has changed it's default value in PHP 5.4 from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. Possible solution #1: Change your code from this ... htmlspecialchars( 'äöü' ); ... to this: htmlspecialchars ( 'äöü' , ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401 , 'ISO-8859-1' ); Possible solution #2: Create a wrapper function and replace htmlspecialchars( to i.e. isohtmlspecialchars( with your IDE/editor/shell... Example of a wrapper function: function isohtmlspecialchars( $str ){ return htmlspecialchars ( $str , ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401 , 'ISO-8859-1' ); } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 212.68.67.242 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/migration54.incompatible.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/111011 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111011/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111011/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111011/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111011/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111011/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111011/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111011 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/111011 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
