Description:
------------
Hi guys,

I used the htmlentities-function for converting values of different Languages to UTF-Code - see example 1.
But PHP doesn't convert these accent-letters to UTF-8-Code.

Furthermore I've realized that PHP doesn't converts the ?-Symbol to ° but to ° - see example 2.




Reproduce code:
---------------
// example 1:

$value = "LA R?CR?"; // with accent-letters of french language
$value = htmlentities($value, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8");
echo $value;
// Output: LA R?CR? (not LA RÉCRÉ)



// example 2:

$value = "13?";
$value = htmlentities($value, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8");
echo $value;
// OUTPUT: 13° (not 13°)

Expected result:
----------------
LA R?CR?

13°

Actual result:
--------------
htmlentities (UTF-8) converts ? wrongly to °.
htmlentities doesn't convert french accent-letters.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Whenever possible PHP will prefer html entities over &#[number];

Hi,

I don't know why this shoudn't be a bug, but when you say it, it is so.
Can I ask you, when i can count on php will recognize this issue so i can use htmlentities($String, ..., "UTF-8") to convert ? to ° instead of °, or when this function will convert these french letters to them UTF-8-equivalent?
Otherwise i have to use an ugly workaround, which could be unneccessary in the future.

THX
Thomas

The "utf-8" parameter specifies that your input string is already utf-8 encoded, so that it doesn't incorrectly translate bytes to entities.
htmlentities() does not perform codeset conversions,
and does not convert to numeric entities.
