get_html_translation_table

Parameters

table

There are two new constants (HTML_ENTITIES, HTML_SPECIALCHARS) that allow you to specify the table you want.

quote_style

Like the htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() functions you can optionally specify the quote_style you are working with. See the description of these modes in htmlspecialchars().

charset_hint

Like htmlentities(), it takes an optional third argument charset which defines character set used in conversion. Presently, the ISO-8859-1 character set is used as the default.

Following character sets are supported in PHP 4.3.0 and later.
