note 44387 added to function.htmlentities

Thx for that function, pinkpanther at swissonline dot ch, though the number of digits after the '#' can be 4, not 3. I bumped into this when struggeling with the euro sign (€). function htmlentities2( $myHTML) { $translation_table = get_html_translation_table( HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES); $translation_table[chr( 38)] = '&'; return preg_replace( "/&(?![A-Za-z]{0,4}\w{2,3};|#[0-9]{2,4};)/", "&" , strtr( $myHTML, $translation_table)); } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44387 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44387&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44387&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
