note 27018 added to function.htmlentities

If you ever plan to support more than ISO8859-1 characters, you should stop using htmlentities() right now. Instead, you should: 1) Use htmlspecialchars() whereever you use htmlentities() 2) Add the character encoding you use to your html file: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> This will make sure that all characters reach the end-user of your webpages unharmed. When you change to UTF-8, use the mb_strlen instead of strlen etc., make sure your text is in utf-8 everywhere, and use this one instead in the <head> section of your html file: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> In case you use XHTML instead of old HTML, please note that the character encoding is also specified in the xml header. Replace this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> with this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27018 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27018 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27018
