Description:
------------
the html entity mappings used by htmlentities() have wrong entries in ent_uni_greek[].

They say "P1" and "p1" instead of "Pi" and "pi". The same goes with "Xi", "Phi", "Chi", "Psi" and their lowercase characters.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo htmlentities("????? ?????",ENT_COMPAT,"UTF-8");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
&Xi;&Pi;&Phi;&Chi;&Psi; &xi;&pi;&phi;&chi;&psi;

Actual result:
--------------
&X1;&P1;&Ph1;&Ch1;&Ps1; &x1;&p1;&ph1;&ch1;&ps1;
