(PHP 4, PHP 5)
get_html_translation_table — Returns the translation table used by htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities()
get_html_translation_table() will return the translation table that is used internally for htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() with the default charset.
Note:
Special characters can be encoded in several ways. E.g. " can be encoded as ", " or ". get_html_translation_table() returns only the most common form for them.
There are two new constants (HTML_ENTITIES, HTML_SPECIALCHARS) that allow you to specify the table you want.
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().
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.
| Charset | Aliases | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ISO-8859-1 | ISO8859-1 | Western European, Latin-1 |
| ISO-8859-15 | ISO8859-15 | Western European, Latin-9. Adds the Euro sign, French and Finnish letters missing in Latin-1(ISO-8859-1). |
| UTF-8 | ASCII compatible multi-byte 8-bit Unicode. | |
| cp866 | ibm866, 866 | DOS-specific Cyrillic charset. This charset is supported in 4.3.2. |
| cp1251 | Windows-1251, win-1251, 1251 | Windows-specific Cyrillic charset. This charset is supported in 4.3.2. |
| cp1252 | Windows-1252, 1252 | Windows specific charset for Western European. |
| KOI8-R | koi8-ru, koi8r | Russian. This charset is supported in 4.3.2. |
| BIG5 | 950 | Traditional Chinese, mainly used in Taiwan. |
| GB2312 | 936 | Simplified Chinese, national standard character set. |
| BIG5-HKSCS | Big5 with Hong Kong extensions, Traditional Chinese. | |
| Shift_JIS | SJIS, 932 | Japanese |
| EUC-JP | EUCJP | Japanese |
Note: Any other character sets are not recognized and ISO-8859-1 will be used instead.
Returns the translation table as an array.
| Version | Description |
