can php transform text to html entity numbers?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

hi all,

i was wondering if there is a way to let php translate a plain text into their html entity NUMBER instead of entity NAME, like the htmlentities() function does.
This is because i want to import the transformed text into flash, and flash doesn’t understand entity names, it needs entity numbers.

thanks for the help!

@bokehJan 15.2007 — Do you mean like this?[code=php]<?php

$string = 'abcde fghij';
$out = '';
foreach(str_split($string) as $char) #PHP 5 only
{
$out .= '&#'.ord($char).';';
}
echo $out;

?>[/code]

@NightShift58Jan 15.2007 — A PHP string - as in some other languages - is an array of characters. If you don't have PHP5, you can still access the string as an array. Using Bokeh's logic, here's an example:[code=php]<?php
$string = 'abcde fghij';
$out = '';
for ($x=0; $x < strlen($string); $x++) {
$out .= '&#' . ord($string[$x]) . ';';
}
echo $out;
?>[/code]
