Sorry, I am not PHP programmer... I just found that Polish characters
in form entries (in not my software) are converted to html entities
(and displayed incorrectly); I tracked thing to happen in
htmlentities() function.
I am using Apache/2.0.48 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.48 OpenSSL/0.9.6b
PHP/4.3.5-dev, it has been a few years since 2000; maybe the programmer
should use another thing for checking the input... ;)
regards,

for most if the iso 8859-2 charset, there are no standard html
entities, and the current behavior of htmlentities() is to leave such
characters unconverted.
the real problem is that the current behavior of htmlentities() when
passed an unknown charset is to use the iso 8859-1 mapping. it
shouldn't try to use a charset mapping in that case.

BTW: you can use recode("ISO8859-2..h4",$text) for this
purpose. See GNU recode extension and recode docs for more
information.

>From PHP Manual: ... htmlentities... At present, the ISO-8859-1
character set is used.
I feel there is strong need to make htmlentities to support other
charsets than ISO 8859-1. We, here in Poland for instance, use ISO
8859-2. Many Western/USA freeware programs use (as they of course
should) htmlentities. Proper display of our diacritic chars is then
impossible. We have to modify sources, removing htmlentities or
defining own functions. It's a waste of time and resources. May I ask
PHP developers to consider this issue?
