If you are using UTF-8 encoding with htmlspecialchars() you may experience blank values with certain
language-specific characters i.e. spanish or portuguese "âãá".
So instead of using
<?php
$utf8encoded= htmlspecialchars($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
?>
try
<?php
$utf8encoded= utf8_encode(htmlspecialchars($string, ENT_QUOTES));
?>
