Bug description:htmlentities returns empty string when it shouldn't
Description:
------------
Doesn't UTF-8 include basic ASCII characters, too? Right now when I try to
encode the copyright symbol (©) using htmlentities (it should encode to
©), it doesn't work. I discovered this since the default encoding for
htmlentities() was switched from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 in version 5.4.
I have plenty of places where I rely on basic symbols, such as the
copyright symbol, being encoded properly with htmlentities(). Having to go
in and change all the instances of htmlentities($string) to
htmlentities($string, ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401, 'ISO-8859-1') is not
practical (there are MANY). And with the whole output of the function being
blank, it just makes my scripts completely unusable now.
Help!
Test script:
---------------
<?php
echo htmlentities('©', ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401, 'UTF-8');
?>
Expected result:
----------------
©
Actual result:
--------------
(Nothing - an empty string)
