Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-04 03:46:34] thedewi at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ For some UTF-8 characters, htmlentities() returns... &#nnnn; ... when it should return ... &#nnnn; The problem does not seem to occur in the punctuation or currency subranges, but many subranges are affected including: drawing, greek, cyrillic, hebrew. It has been partially fixed in the past: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=11175 There has also been at least one other bug report, filed "Bogus" without a very detailed explanation: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27691 Presumably the above was a misunderstanding, but if you get the urge to mark this bug as "Bogus", please explain it, because this behaviour seems to result in unpredictable and ambiguous results (by which I mean that applying a workaround will give false positives). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php print 'Form:<form action="?" method="post"><input type="text" name="foo" size="80" value="' . htmlentities(stripslashes($_POST['foo']), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8') . '"/></form>Thanks.'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- When I enter text into the input field, it should render a correctly represented and escaped value in the resulting markup: »¥Ω∏░☺ψЭש ك Note: it seems this bug report form itself suffers from a similar problem, so keep in mind that the above are unicode characters, not HTML escapes. Actual result: -------------- »¥&#8486;&#8719;&#9617;&#9786;&#968;&#1069;&#1513; &#1603; As you can see, the first few translations were correct, but the more exotic ones failed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40017&edit=1
