note 52116 added to function.htmlentities

Re: htmlEncodeText (see below) <? // added: plus, comma, and tilde - for home dirs and query strings $pattern = '<([a-zA-Z0-9\.\, "\'_\/\-\+~=;:\(\)?&#%![\]@]+)>' ... // also, I found the htmlentities call was more useful with UTF-8 output $textMatches [$key] = htmlentities ($value,ENT_COMPAT,'UTF-8'); ?> By forcing UTF-8 output, the rest of the page will probably want an UTF-8 character set defined in the header or by an html meta tag. Optionally, you can set it per element with a charset (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#h-6.9) tag attribute. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52116 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52116&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52116&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52116&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52116&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52116&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52116&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
