note 114041 added to function.htmlentities

The flag ENT_HTML5 also strips newline chars like \n with htmlentities while htmlspecialchars is not affected by that. If you want to use nl2br on that string afterwards you might end up searching the problem like i did. This does not apply to other flags like e.g. ENT_XHTML which confused me. Tested this with PHP 5.4 / 5.5 / 5.6-dev with same results, so it seems that this is an intended "feature". ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 80.171.151.44 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114041 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114041/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114041/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114041/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114041/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114041/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114041/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114041 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114041 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
