Hi,
We're working on a program that needs to generate an xml document, utf-8
encoded, based on information stored with another charset encoding inside a
database.
So basically at some point we have a function that looks like:
function encodeString($s, $encoding)
{
$s = mb_convert_encoding($s, 'UTF-8', $encoding);
$s = htmlspecialchars($s, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
return $s;
}
What happens is that "htmlspecialchars" seems to be always returning a
latin1 string, therefore causing problems with the generated document
supposedly utf-8 encoded.
My question is: is this a php bug or am I misunderstanding something related
to multi-byte character support?
PHP version is 4.2.3
Thank you very much!
