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

That's because the nbsp is actually encoded in UTF-8. Use the charset parameter to htmlentities() to tell it is us UTF-8.

Ahh I see. Now it works.
