Bug description:htmlspecialchars() encodes & and — in a wrong way
Description:
------------
The function htmlspecialchars() encodes the & character even if it is part
of some html entity like & or — .
The workaround is also difficult because the function doesn't allow to
disable replacing of the & symbol (I believe it should).
PHP version
Test script:
---------------
echo htmlspecialchars("&");
echo htmlspecialchars("—");
Expected result:
----------------
&
—
Actual result:
--------------
&
—
