Look closer... the actual html you just posted does not match the
example.

Maybe it would help if you focused on just the second half of the
example:

<?php
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";

// Outputs: A 'quote' is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
?>

If you run the code through a browser (I'm using FF on WinXP), then the
screen shows ...

A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>

But if you look at the actual HTML ...

A 'quote' is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;A &#039;quote&#039; is
&lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;

Which matches the example.

The example is correct.

09/02/2007 11:00:05 C:\>php -n
<?php
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";

// Outputs: A 'quote' is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str);

// Outputs: A &#039;quote&#039; is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
?>
^Z
A 'quote' is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;A &#039;quote&#039; is
&lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;

Description:
------------
On the htmlentities function documentation page:

http://us2.php.net/htmlentities

Example 2262 is incorrect.  The function call with and without
ENT_QUOTES produces different results, but the documentation says
they're the same.





Expected result:
----------------
<?php
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";

// Outputs: A 'quote' is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str);

// Outputs: A &#039;quote&#039; is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
?> 

Actual result:
--------------
<?php
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";

// Outputs: A 'quote' is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str);

// Outputs: A 'quote' is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
?>
