note 49332 added to function.htmlentities

htmlEncodeText (below) needs a small tweak, the dash needs to be made literal to get picked up in cases like '<a href="blah-blah.php">'. I have been using this function to parse my postgresql database calls since I have alot of unicode data and I don't want HTML data to be neutered (via htmlentities()). <?php function htmlEncodeText ($string) { $pattern = '<([a-zA-Z0-9\. "\'_\/\-=;\(\)?&#%]+)>'; preg_match_all ('/' . $pattern . '/', $string, $tagMatches, PREG_SET_ORDER); $textMatches = preg_split ('/' . $pattern . '/', $string); foreach ($textMatches as $key => $value) { $textMatches [$key] = htmlentities ($value); } for ($i = 0; $i < count ($textMatches); $i ++) { $textMatches [$i] = $textMatches [$i] . $tagMatches [$i] [0]; } return implode ($textMatches); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49332 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49332&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49332&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49332&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49332&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49332&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49332&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
