Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 21.2005

Hi

I’ve problem with the function htmlentities it prints “A ‘quote’ is <b>bold</b&gtA ‘quote’ is <b>bold</b&gt” when it should print
” A ‘quote’ is <b>bold</b&gt” and “A ‘quote’ is <b>bold</b&gt” what am I doing wrong?

Here is the code example

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd“>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php
$str = “A ‘quote’ is <b>bold</b>”;
//$str = “A ‘quote’ is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt”;

// 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);
?>
</body>
</html>

Hope anyone could help me

It still doesn't work, nothing happens. I could use

$str = preg_replace( '/'/', 'X', $str); that works but then you have to type in many lines of code. Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks for your help so far

@NogDogJul 22.2005 — Perhaps I'm not clear as to what the actual problem is? I thought you were complaining that it was all coming out on one line instead of 2, which I corrected. But now I'm thinking your saying the ENT_QUOTES parameter is not resulting in the quotes being encoded? If so, it's working fine for me when I cut and paste your code onto my PHP 4 installation.

Success!
