This function is identical to htmlspecialchars() in all ways, except with htmlentities() , all characters which have HTML character entity equivalents are translated into these entities.
Like htmlspecialchars() , the optional second quote_style parameter lets you define what will be done with 'single' and "double" quotes. It takes on one of three constants with the default being ENT_COMPAT :
表格 1. Available quote_style constants
| Constant Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ENT_COMPAT | Will convert double-quotes and leave single-quotes alone. |
| ENT_QUOTES | Will convert both double and single quotes. |
| ENT_NOQUOTES | Will leave both double and single quotes unconverted. |
Support for the optional quote parameter was added in PHP 4.0.3.
Like htmlspecialchars() , it takes an optional third argument charset which defines character set used in conversion. Support for this argument was added in PHP 4.1.0. Presently, the ISO-8859-1 character set is used as the default.
PHP 4.3.0 及其后续版本支持如下字符集。
