Description:
------------
Function htmlspecialchars does not have compatibility with all scripts in non-unicode charset, because it uses the default utf-8 encoding instead of the settings(php.ini). It's not a bug, but not quite logical behavior.

--------------
I'm sorry, I not have opportunity to create patch differences, because I do not have necessary software on my netbook. I hope, this guide will help you: http://pastebin.com/qCXNWxRh

Test script:
---------------
ini_set('default_charset','windows-1251');
echo htmlspecialchars('<h1>привет мир</h1>');

Expected result:
----------------
&lt;h1&gt;привет мир&lt;/h1&gt;

Actual result:
--------------
null string

I know about the ability to specify the last parameter encoding, but I do not have the ability to change a lot of scripts already written.

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

Use the 3rd parameter of the function to use the encoding you want. everything else its likely to cause problems in the long run,for instance when mixing thirds party libs in.
