[PHP] converting html entities outside of tags

[Alain Dresse]

Hi,

I want to allow the users of my site to insert text with anchors, bold and
italic html tags. I have filtered out all the other tags. I now want to
convert the other <, >, quote, double quote and & to html entities. If I use
the function htmlspecialchars, it of course also quotes the "valid" anchors.

For instance, I would like the following

    This is a <a href="http://www.domain.com";>string with "quotes" and other
< signs </a>

to be converted to

    This is a <a href="http://www.domain.com";>string with &quot;quotes&quot;
and other &lt; signs </a>

and not

    This is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.domain.com&quot;&gt;string with
&quot;quotes&quot; and other &lt; signs &lt;/a&gt;

Can anybody help ?

Thanks,
Alain Dresse
