Description
string get_html_translation_table
(int table [, int quote_style])
get_html_translation_table() will return the translation table that is used internally for htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities(). There are two new defines (HTML_ENTITIES, HTML_SPECIALCHARS) that allow you to specify the table you want. And as in the htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() functions you can optionally specify the quote_style you are working with. The default is ENT_COMPAT mode. See the description of these modes in htmlspecialchars().
Example 1. Translation Table Example
$trans = get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES); $str = "Hallo & <Frau> & Krämer"; $encoded = strtr ($str, $trans); |
|
The
$encoded variable will now contain: "Hallo &
amp; &
lt;Frau&
gt; &
amp; Kr&
auml;mer".
The cool thing is using array_flip() to change the direction of the translation.
The content of
$original would be: "Hallo & <Frau> & Krämer".
Note: This function was added in PHP 4.0.
