well, then the it's not a bug, but then the documetation is a bit confusing: "This function is identical to htmlspecialchars() in all ways, except that ALL characters which have HTML character entity equivalents are translated into these entities." and for em-dash for example there's a — since html 4.0 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-05 05:23:39] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The code in ext/standard/html.c seems to only support entities found in the first 8 bits of a given charset, including utf-8. Windows code page 1252 is the only character set that has em and en dashes in this 8-bit area. Hence it is the only character set that will work like you expect it to. In other words, you need to use "cp1252" as the third argument to htmlentities() and make sure that your input string is in cp1252 as well. Support for full utf-8 entities might be coming in a future release. Meanwhile, you can convert utf-8 to HTML's numeric character references with PHP's mbstring extension and this piece of code: $f = 0xffff; $convmap = array( /* <!ENTITY % HTMLlat1 PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1//EN//HTML"> %HTMLlat1; */ 160, 255, 0, $f, /* <!ENTITY % HTMLsymbol PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Symbols//EN//HTML"> %HTMLsymbol; */ 402, 402, 0, $f, 913, 929, 0, $f, 931, 937, 0, $f, 945, 969, 0, $f, 977, 978, 0, $f, 982, 982, 0, $f, 8226, 8226, 0, $f, 8230, 8230, 0, $f, 8242, 8243, 0, $f, 8254, 8254, 0, $f, 8260, 8260, 0, $f, 8465, 8465, 0, $f, 8472, 8472, 0, $f, 8476, 8476, 0, $f, 8482, 8482, 0, $f, 8501, 8501, 0, $f, 8592, 8596, 0, $f, 8629, 8629, 0, $f, 8656, 8660, 0, $f, 8704, 8704, 0, $f, 8706, 8707, 0, $f, 8709, 8709, 0, $f, 8711, 8713, 0, $f, 8715, 8715, 0, $f, 8719, 8719, 0, $f, 8721, 8722, 0, $f, 8727, 8727, 0, $f, 8730, 8730, 0, $f, 8733, 8734, 0, $f, 8736, 8736, 0, $f, 8743, 8747, 0, $f, 8756, 8756, 0, $f, 8764, 8764, 0, $f, 8773, 8773, 0, $f, 8776, 8776, 0, $f, 8800, 8801, 0, $f, 8804, 8805, 0, $f, 8834, 8836, 0, $f, 8838, 8839, 0, $f, 8853, 8853, 0, $f, 8855, 8855, 0, $f, 8869, 8869, 0, $f, 8901, 8901, 0, $f, 8968, 8971, 0, $f, 9001, 9002, 0, $f, 9674, 9674, 0, $f, 9824, 9824, 0, $f, 9827, 9827, 0, $f, 9829, 9830, 0, $f, /* <!ENTITY % HTMLspecial PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Special//EN//HTML"> %HTMLspecial; */ /* These ones are excluded to enable HTML: 34, 38, 60, 62 * / 338, 339, 0, $f, 352, 353, 0, $f, 376, 376, 0, $f, 710, 710, 0, $f, 732, 732, 0, $f, 8194, 8195, 0, $f, 8201, 8201, 0, $f, 8204, 8207, 0, $f, 8211, 8212, 0, $f, 8216, 8218, 0, $f, 8218, 8218, 0, $f, 8220, 8222, 0, $f, 8224, 8225, 0, $f, 8240, 8240, 0, $f, 8249, 8250, 0, $f, 8364, 8364, 0, $f); echo mb_encode_numericentity($html, $convmap, "UTF-8"); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-04 23:10:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] if i'm not wrong this function is supposed to encode all those special characters, right? well, em or en dashes are not encoded. the whole list of characters that should be encoded can be found here: http://selfhtml.teamone.de/html/referenz/zeichen.htm#benannte_interpunktion it's in german, but i guess you can see what i mean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17008&edit=1
