$mbstring_cfgs = array(
        'zlib.output_compression'       => '1',
        'zlib.output_compression_level' => '9',
        'mbstring.detect_order'         => 'UTF-8',
        'mbstring.http_input'           => 'UTF-8',
        'mbstring.http_output'          => 'UTF-8',
        'mbstring.internal_encoding'    => 'UTF-8',
        'mbstring.script_encoding'      => NULL,
        'mbstring.substitute_character' => NULL                                 
);

foreach( $mbstring_cfgs as $k => $v )
{
        ini_set ($k,$v);
}
$a = @$_POST['txt'];
$a = mb_convert_encoding($a, 'UTF-8','SJIS');
$a = mb_convert_encoding($a, 'HTML-ENTITIES','UTF-8');
echo $a;
=====================================================
Step One : Converting a SJIS encoded string to UTF-8 string . This step
is good , nothing trouble appeared.
Step Two : When convert UTF-8 string ( or whatever multi-byte string )
to HTML ENTITIES . PHP 5.0.0 return a wrong string with uncomplete
entities and strange characters.

I don't face this problem in PHP 4.3.3 RC3.

<?php
$escaped = html_entity_decode('&euro;a&auml;', 
ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
var_dump($escaped);
var_dump(mb_convert_encoding($escaped, 'HTML-ENTITIES', 
'UTF-8'));
?>

string(6) "�a�"
string(13) "&euro;a&auml;"

Works fine here.
