Description:
------------
htmlspecialchars() does not respect default_charset specified by ini_set or php_value passed to php-fpm, however it does while it is set by php.ini.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
ini_set('default_charset', 'cp1252');

var_dump(htmlentities("\xA3", ENT_HTML5));
var_dump(htmlentities("\xA3", ENT_HTML5, 'cp1252'));

var_dump(html_entity_decode("&pound;", ENT_HTML5));
var_dump(html_entity_decode("&pound;", ENT_HTML5, 'cp1252'));


Expected result:
----------------
Script should print:

string(7) "&pound;"
string(7) "&pound;"
string(1) "▒"
string(1) "▒"


Actual result:
--------------
Script printed:

string(0) ""
string(7) "&pound;"
string(2) "£"
string(1) "▒"

Thank you for reminding. I'll check when I have time to remove mbstring.*, iconv.* INI settings from PHP7. i.e. mbstring.http_input/etc removal is accepted by RFC.

I spotted what's wrong. I need PHP_INI_MH() obviously. I'll try to fix this before next monthly release.

yohgaki, thank you a lot.
Current behaviour won't let users who still use single-byte charsets sites to upgrade from php 5.3. This fix will allow again run such sites with the only ini_set call added.
