Re: [FX.php List] (mail) - problems with Æ - Ø - Å

[Chris Bisgard]

According to the manual, html_entity_decode() requires at minimum PHP
version 4.3.0. Maybe you're running an older version than that on the
problem server?

Also, unhtmlentities() is a custom function that must be defined (or
included) in your script. See the following from the php.net manual
page for html_entity_decode() :


// For users prior to PHP 4.3.0 you may do this:
function unhtmlentities($string)
{
    // replace numeric entities
    $string = preg_replace('~&#x([0-9a-f]+);~ei',
'chr(hexdec("\\1"))', $string);
    $string = preg_replace('~&#([0-9]+);~e', 'chr("\\1")', $string);
    // replace literal entities
    $trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
    $trans_tbl = array_flip($trans_tbl);
    return strtr($string, $trans_tbl);
}

$c = unhtmlentities($a);


HTH,
