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.

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.

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:

Test script:
---------------
ini_set('default_charset','windows-1251');
echo htmlspecialchars('<h1>пÑÐ¸Ð²ÐµÑ Ð¼Ð¸Ñ</h1>');
Expected result:
----------------
<h1>пÑÐ¸Ð²ÐµÑ Ð¼Ð¸Ñ</h1>
Actual result:
--------------
null string
