If I remember correctly, htmlspecialchars does what its name indicate: konvert any character with special meaning according to the HTML specification. htmlentities converts any character to its HTML representation. One caveat of using htmlentities is that it is really hard to read for a human being, but as long as the output is only used inside a browser there is no problem. Nowadays I do a lot of XML stuff which only leaves one option: htmlentities. Another thing: PHP is designed to be used on the web in browser so htmlspecialchars, in my opinion, is redundant. -- Hilsen/Regards Michael Rasmussen http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE3E80917 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
