Moreover it will be impossible to upgrade to newer OS versions and use PHP
versions from distro. Which is even more a security issue.

Instead of moving on to PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5 thousands of servers will stay with
legacy PHP 5.3 due to this single, easy to solve (ini setting) issue that the
PHP team has decided to ignore.

Yes, i'm interested too to understand that fact.
I recently upgrade my server, and ALL my code is unusable !
A search in code found +470 000 words htmlentities or htmlspecialchars !!!!!
HOW TO CHANGE ALL THIS ????? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE !!!!!!!!
Thanks, we must stop all our services and websites.
Just for a stupid thing.

I was wondering if someone could enlighten me by explaining why this:
htmlspecialchars($str, ENT_QUOTES, "ISO-8859-1");
... would be considered any more secure than something like this:
ini_set("html.default_charset", "ISO-8859-1");
htmlspecialchars($str, ENT_QUOTES);
Thank you!
