As Alan and I mentioned in previous messages, for multi-byte character set,
&(xxx); is not quite equal to <? echo xxx;>, which means Chinese is properly
displayed using the later one but not with &(xxx);
Also, using htmlentities(string) causes the international chars not properly
stored and displayed, but using htmlspecialchars(string) is OK. see PHP
document:
http://www.php.net/manual/function.htmlentities.php for htmlentities:
" Note, that this function currently only escapes ISO-8859-1 (or
ISO-latin-1) charset.
Currently, if you don't know what you are really doing, you should try to
avoid to use this function.
You *cannot* rely on that the input an user sends you from his browser is
ISO-latin-1.
....
So it is *not quite correct* to use this function as a superior replacement
for
things, where HTMLSpecialChars(); is enough, cause you assume, that every
instance uses ISO-latin-1. "
hopes this helps. Thanks.
