I bet they do, did you check the HTML source as well? My guess is that the source is reading the actual expected output, but your browser views "é", as it should of course.

Re: [PHP] HTML equivalents of accented characters
I think php.net/htmlentities will do this.

echo htmlentities("é"); // outputs é

The source code reads the actual character, > not the é. Hmmm... interesting... I tested your exact code in this format : which returned (sourcecode) [é][é][é] So with me, htmlentities works. Did you try this : $a = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES); var_dump($a); ? With me, it returns a 99 elements array with loads of characters, including the "é". (PHP/4.2.3 on Win2000) I have no idea what might be the problem, what does your translation table look like? -- Ivo Fokkema -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] HTML equivalents of accented characters
To change "é" to "é" you need htmlentities(), not htmlspecialchars as the latter only translates ampersands (&), double quotes, less than en greater than characters (Single quotes are not translated by default). If htmlentities does not work, what does a var_dump on your $translationtable send back?
