Hi there [htmlspecialchars]Does nothing

[universalbitmapper]

Hi,

$new = htmlspecialchar s("<a href=", ENT_QUOTES, 'ISO-8859-15');
echo $new;

displays:

<a href

Instead of :

&lt; a href

I added the character set since this is a computer in Europe.

The PHP is the Win32 5.1.2

Thanks for your help

It outputs &lt;a href=, if you view it with a browser it display's <a href,
instead of making an 'a' element. View your source.

If you want to display you special characters like &lt; in a browser: either
double yoiu htmlentities/htmlspecialchar s (so,
htmlspecialchar s(htmlspecialch ars($string))), or
str_replace('&' ,'&amp;',$strin g) after you have replaced ther characters.

Hi Rik,

I have done like you wrote, indeed I see &+lt+; if I select "source" in
IE6.

Many thanks
