Not as trivial as you make it seem... ------------- Consider the following code: -----
$data = "This is & some   text"; $trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES); $trans = array_flip($trans); $data2 = strtr($data,$trans); echo "Original data is:\n"; echo "$data\n\n"; echo "New data is:\n"; echo $data2; -------------- The output is: ------------------ Original data is: This is & some   text New data is: This is & some   text ----------------------------------------------- Yes, the & entity was handled properly, but the   entity was not. That is a valid entity AFAIK. In addition to the speed improvement of having a native C version of this function, I think it would be worthwhile to have built-in. -Brad Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: > Reversing htmlentities is trivial.
