htmlspecialchars convert

[jstraa]

Hi,

I must convert " quotes to a html code &139; or something like
that i can do that with $content = htmlspecialchars("$content", ENT_QUOTES); This is doing fine. After that I would like to
convert all " quotes within a tag (between < and >) to
convert to quotes again I think I should do that with preg_replace, has anyone got an idea how to handle this?

Any help is appreciated !

This is some examples I got from php.net 's function list.

I do not know if it works, but I guess it's worht a try:

Example 3. Convert HTML to text

// $document should contain an HTML document.
// This will remove HTML tags, javascript sections
// and white space. It will also convert some
// common HTML entities to their text equivalent.

$search = array ("'<script[^{>]?>.?</script>'si",} // Strip out javascript
"'<[\/!]?[^<>]?>'si", // Strip out html tags
"'([\r\n])[\s]+'", // Strip out white space
"'&(quot|#34);'i", // Replace html entities
"'&(amp|#38);'i",
"'&(lt|#60);'i",
"'&(gt|#62);'i",
"'&(nbsp|#160);'i",
"'&(iexcl|#161);'i",
"'&(cent|#162);'i",
"'&(pound|#163);'i",
"'&(copy|#169);'i",
"'&#(\d+);'e"); // evaluate as php

$replace = array ("",
"",
"\1",
"\"",
"&",
"<",
">",
" ",
chr(161),
chr(162),
chr(163),
chr(169),
"chr(\1)");

$text = preg_replace ($search, $replace, $document);
