When I use htmlentities & htmlspecialchars function (Php4.0.1pl2+Solaris8+Apache1.3.12) they don't work, they don't translate any character.
Then I call the get_html_translation_table() function and it returns an array with the key equal to the value for each pair.
I think the problem is here, since the above 2 functions use this one.

<?
    $a = get_html_translation_table( HTML_SPECIAL_CHARS );
    while( $val=each($a) )
        echo $val[0]." -> ".$val[1]."<br>";
?>

Give as result:
 & -> &
 " -> "
 < -> <
 > -> >

and the same occurs using HTML_ENTITIES.
As conseguence, when I use htmlentities() or htmlspecialchars() no translation occurs.
For example:

 echo htmlspecialchars( "1 < 2" );
returns
 "1 < 2"

it works perfectly for me. Do you use command-line version?

I've compiled Php4.0.1pl2 as a Apache1.3.12 module, so I'm doing all these tests requesting pages to the Web Server.
I've had the same troubles also with 4.0.0 (I've installed the latest release with the hope to find a bug fix to it).
To compile I've used 
  make-3.79
  gcc-2.95.2
(Solaris8 packages downloaded from SunFreeWare.com).

Sorry for asking that, but do you look at _source_ in your browser?
