note 116132 added to function.htmlspecialchars

I have a problem... I used PHP 5.5 and this code return empty String. $myCaption = 'áéí'; //encode echo htmlentities($myCaption, ENT_QUOTES); //reverse (decode) echo html_entity_decode($myCaptionEncoded); In PHP 5.2 returns this: áéí áéí Why? I need to convert from "á" to "á" and others especials characters but i don't know how... Any Help? :D ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 87.218.176.38 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116132 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116132/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116132/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116132/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116132/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116132/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116132/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116132 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116132 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
