Hello,

I want to use htmlentities() with UTF-8, which I can set with the third
parameter. But to use the third parameter, I have to provide the second
parameter. Currently the default for the second parameter is ENT_COMPAT.
But as this might change, I don't want to call htmlentities with

htmlentities($text, ENT_COMPAT, "UTF-8");

all the time. Is there another way?

Regards
Marten

You could create a function that could handle various output/escaping
functions.  This way you minimize any changes to the output mechanism
you use throughout your old site.

function formatText($text=NULL) {

   if (is_null($text) )
       return $text;

   $text = htmlentities($text, ENT_COMPAT, "UTF-8");

   // you could even do other stuff if you wanted like
   $text = nl2br($text);

   return $text;
}
