Description:
------------

From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.htmlspecialchars

The translations performed are:

* '&' (ampersand) becomes '&'
* '"' (double quote) becomes '"' when ENT_NOQUOTES is not set.
* "'" (single quote) becomes ''' (or ') only when ENT_QUOTES is set.

I'm not very good at PHP, but is this how ENT_NOQUOTES works?

And then:

    ENT_QUOTES	    Will convert both double and single quotes.
    ENT_NOQUOTES     Will leave both double and single quotes unconverted.

Yes that is how it works. ENT_NOQUOTES stops either kind of quotes being converted into an entity. ENT_QUOTES is the only option that converts single quotes.

What specifically do you think is worded confusingly?
