The behavior htmlentities() (or PHP's parser/whatever) has changed between 5.3 and 5.4.  I will put a phpt file in svn once the bug number is known.

$in = 'Òåñòèðóåì';
echo htmlentities($in, ENT_COMPAT, 'windows-1251');

htmlentities replaces characters with their *named* entities, for those characters that have it, with the exception of ' (apos):

«This function is identical to htmlspecialchars() in all ways, except with htmlentities(), *all characters which have HTML character entity equivalents* are translated into these entities.» (doc for htmlentities(), emphasis mine)

It is true that, for some encodings, htmlentities used to provide numerical entities for some characters. I removed such functionality because 1) it's inconsistent with the other encodings and 2) it was never documented behavior.

Please remove the failing test you've added.

Thanks!
