I'll try this. This was reported by german users IIRC. Try to type a ü (umlaut) with htmlentities and htmlspecialchars and see the difference. > BTW: The reason for selecting htmlentities() was, that it is currently used > for <input value="text" ...> (via HTML_Common). Nobody complained about it being htmlentities so I leave it as is for now in HTML_Common as long as frozen QuickForm elements use htmlspecialchars. >> Now the problem comes when you want to allow html tags in your textarea and >> store its content as such in your DB or files. > > I do this with htmlentities()/htmlspecialchars() and can't see any problems > related to QuickForm. The Database contains what the user see in textarea.. I will add htmlspecialchars to textarea but before the string is preg_replaced otherwise &#10; becomes &amp;#10;. Thanks, Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
