note 52361 added to function.htmlspecialchars

Here is the recursive version that works for both arrays and strings. Doesn't look as elegant as the other recursive versions, because of the input checks. function HTML_ESC($_input = null, $_esc_keys = false) { if ((null != $_input) && (is_array($_input))) { foreach($_input as $key => $value) { if($_esc_keys) { $_return[htmlspecialchars($key)] = HTML_ESC($value,$_esc_keys); } else { $_return[$key] = HTML_ESC($value); } } return $_return; } elseif(null != $_input) { return htmlspecialchars($_input); } else { return null; } } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52361 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52361&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52361&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52361&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52361&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52361&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52361&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
