I need convert arabic letters in htmlentities symbols. Codepage: ISO-8859-1.
سك - this is arabic symbol for example.
htmlentities("سك")
returns:
س�
How can I get from this symbol the html-entities سك?
htmlentities() can do only characters that have named entities. See this question on how to convert arbitrary characters into numeric entities.
You're probably not targeting the correct charset. Try: htmlentities('سك', ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
i'm using a function to make sure there are no html code or cotation posted by user
function cleartext($x1){
$x1 = str_replace('"','',$x1);
$x1 = str_replace("'",'',$x1);
$x1 = htmlentities($x1, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
return $x1;
}
so thank for ( ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' ) it helped me to find what am looking for

I want to convert my string to Unicode like if "ग" than give output like "0917" or "917" any one of them.
Link for Unicode of string i want
Please give me a Hint i used ord() but it's not work proper.
$ord = mb_convert_encoding("ग", 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'UTF-8');
echo $ord;
$ord = ord("ग");
echo $ord; // 224 output
Both try but not working.
iconv — Convert string to requested character encoding
http://php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php
I have string that looks like this "v\u00e4lkommen till mig" that I get after doing utf8_encode() on the string.
I would like that string to become
välkommen till mig
where the character
\u00e4 = ä = ä
How can I achive this in PHP?
Do not use utf8_(de|en)code. It just converts from UTF8 to ISO-8859-1 and back. ISO 8859-1 does not provide the same characters as ISO-8859-15 or Windows1252, which are the most used encodings (besides UTF-8). Better use mb_convert_encoding.
"v\u00e4lkommen till mig" > This string looks like a JSON encoded string which IS already utf8 encoded. The unicode code positiotion of "ä" is U+00E4 >> \u00e4.
Example
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
$json = '"v\u00e4lkommen till mig"';
var_dump(json_decode($json)); //It will return a utf8 encoded string "välkommen till mig"
What is the source of this string?
There is no need to replace the ä with its HTML representation ä, if you print it in a utf8 encoded document and tell the browser the used encoding. If it is necessary, use htmlentities:
<?php
$json = '"v\u00e4lkommen till mig"';
$string = json_decode($json);
echo htmlentities($string, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
Edit: Since you want to keep HTML characters, and I now think your source string isn't quite what you posted (I think it is actual unicode, rather than containing \unnnn as a string), I think your best option is this:
$html = str_replace( str_replace( str_replace( htmlentities( $whatever ), '<', '<' ), '>', '>' ), '&', '&' );
(note: no call to utf8-decode)
Original answer:
There is no direct conversion. First, decode it again:
$decoded = utf8_decode( $whatever );
then encode as HTML:
$html = htmlentities( $decoded );
and of course you can do it without a variable:
$html = htmlentities( utf8_decode( $whatever ) );
http://php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php
http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php
To do this by regular expression (not recommended, likely slower, less reliable), you can use the fact that HTML supports &#xnnnn; constructs, where the nnnn is the same as your existing \unnnn values. So you can say:
$html = preg_replace( '/\\\\u([0-9a-f]{4})/i', '&#x$1;', $whatever )
The html_entity_decode worked for me.
$json = '"v\u00e4lkommen till mig"';
echo $decoded = html_entity_decode( json_decode($json) );
I have website that's in win-1251 encoding and it needs to stay that way. But I also need to be able to echo few links that contain non latin, non cyrillic characters like šžāņūī...
I need a function that convert this
"māja un man tā patīk"
to
"māja un man tā patīk"
and that does not touch html, so if there is <b> it needs to stay as <b>, not > or <
And please no advices about the encoding and how wrong that is.
$str = "<b>Obāchan</b> おばあちゃん";
$str = preg_replace_callback('/./u', function ($matches) {
$chr = $matches[0];
if (strlen($chr) > 1) {
$chr = mb_convert_encoding($chr, 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'UTF-8');
}
return $chr;
}, $str);
This expects the original $str to be UTF-8 encoded, i.e. your PHP file should be saved in UTF-8. It encodes all non-ASCII compatible code points to HTML entities. Since all HTML special characters are ASCII characters, they remain untouched. The resulting string is pure ASCII. Since the lower Win-1251 code points are ASCII compatible, the resulting string is also a valid Win-1251 string. The above $str converts to:
<b>Obāchan</b> おばあちゃん
The main things you probably don't want to encode are <, > and &. Those are really the only special characters. So how about encoding everything first, and then just decode <, > and & I feel you should be fine.
This is untested:
$output =
htmlspecialchars_decode(
htmlentities($input, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'CP-1251')
);
let me know
What Evert suggest looks logical to me too! If you insist this is a way to do it if there are only two letters that bother you. For more letters the scrit will not be as effective and needs to change.
<?PHP
function myConvert($str)
{
$chars['ā']='ā';
$chars['ī']='ī';
foreach ($chars as $key => $value)
$output = str_replace($key, $value, $str);
echo $str;
}
myConvert("māja un man tā patīk");
?>
==================edited==============
For many characters maybe this one can help you:
<?PHP
function myConvert($str)
{
$final=null;
$parts = preg_split("/&#[0-9]*;/i", $str);//get all text parts
preg_match_all("/&#[0-9]*;/i", $str, $delimiters );//get delimiters;
$delimiters[0][]='';//make arrays equal size
foreach($parts as $key => $value)
$final.=$value.mb_convert_encoding
($delimiters[0][$key], "UTF-8", "HTML-ENTITIES");
return $final;
}
$fh = fopen("testFile.txt", 'w') ;
fwrite($fh, myConvert("māja un man tā patīkī"));
fclose($fh);
?>
The desired output is written in the text file. This code, exactly as it is -not merged in some project- does what it claims to do. Converts codes like ā to the analogous character they present.
Test string:
$s = "convert this: ";
$s .= "–, —, †, ‡, •, ≤, ≥, μ, ₪, ©, ® y ™, ⅓, ⅔, ⅛, ⅜, ⅝, ⅞, ™, Ω, ℮, ∑, ⌂, ♀, ♂ ";
$s .= "but, not convert ordinary characters to entities";
$encoded = mb_convert_encoding($s, 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'UTF-8');
asssuming your input string is UTF-8, this should encode most everything into numeric entities.
Well htmlentities doesn't work correctly. Fortunately someone has posted code on the php website that seems to do the translation of multibyte characters properly
I did work on decoding ascii into html coded text (&#xxxx). https://github.com/hellonearthis/ascii2web
How do I convert a string that has a - or + sign to a html friendly string?
I mean to convert those characters to html notations, like space is and so on...
ps: htmlentities doesn't work. I still see the -/+
Try this
$string = str_replace('+', '+', $string); // Convert + sign
$string = str_replace('-', '-', $string); // Convert - sign
I don't think there is entities for these symbols see: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp
I tested with
$str = "- and +"; echo htmlentities($str);
and didn't get entities. According to: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php
I would expect them to be encoded if there was encoding available.
No idea what you want to accomplish. But this escapes selected characters to html entities:
$html = preg_replace("/([+-])/e", '"&#".ord("$1").";"', $html);
As far as I am aware, - and + are fine in HTML, and dont have an entity equivalent. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references
Are you sure you're not thinking of URL encoding?
Specify that you want it to use unicode as follows:
htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES | ENT_IGNORE, "UTF-8");
Have a look at the 2nd comment on this page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php#100388
This will enable more encoding characters.
If you just want to encode some, then this is a little lighter weight:
<?php
$ent = array(
'+'=>'+',
'-'=>'+'
);
echo strtr('+ and -', $ent);
?>
