Beware of parsing JIS (aka 'iso-2002-jp') text through this function, as this function does not appear to have a sense for multibyte characters and may corrupt some characters. Eg. the japanese comma (the two ascii characters !" as viewed by an ascii client) gets transferred into !" , which transforms the comma into a 'maru' mark and the following characters into garbage. Conceivably this could affect other multibyte charsets. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+20365 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+20365 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+20365
