htmlentities -- Convert all applicable characters to HTML entities
Description
string htmlentities (string string [, int quote_style [, string
charset]])
This function is identical to
htmlspecialchars() in all ways, except that all characters which have HTML character entity
equivalents are translated into these entities. Like
htmlspecialchars(), it takes an optional second argument which indicates what should be
done with single and double quotes. ENT_COMPAT (the default) will only convert
double-quotes and leave single-quotes alone. ENT_QUOTES will convert both double
and single quotes, and ENT_NOQUOTES will leave both double and single quotes
unconverted.
At present, the ISO-8859-1 character set is used as default. Support for the optional
second argument was added in PHP 3.0.17 and PHP 4.0.3.
Like htmlspecialchars(), it takes an
optional third argument which defines character set used in conversion. Support for this argument
was added in PHP 4.1.0.
