htmlencode php,PHP: htmlentities - Manual

html entities does not encode all unicode characters. It encodes what it can [all of latin1], and the others slip through. Љ is the nasty I use. I have searched for a function which encodes everything, but in the end I wrote this. This is as simple as I can get it. Consult an ansii table to custom include/omit chars you want/don't. I'm sure it's not that fast.

// Unicode-proof htmlentities.

// Returns 'normal' chars as chars and weirdos as numeric html entites.

function superentities( $str ){

// get rid of existing entities else double-escape

$str = html_entity_decode(stripslashes($str),ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');

$ar = preg_split('/(?

foreach ($ar as $c){

$o = ord($c);

if ( (strlen($c) > 1) || /* multi-byte [unicode] */

($o <32 || $o > 126) || /* */

($o >33 && $o < 40) ||/* quotes + ambersand */

($o >59 && $o < 63) /* html */

) {

// convert to numeric entity

$c = mb_encode_numericentity($c,array (0x0, 0xffff, 0, 0xffff), 'UTF-8');

}

$str2 .= $c;

}

return $str2;

}
