Problem with 3rd param for array_map

[Chuncho]

Hello people, I'm new in this forum, I hope be useful to you. ( my english is not good enough, but I'll do my best 😉 )

Now, I got a problem, and I don't know how to solve it...

I'm trying to use the funcion htmlspecialchars in an array using array_map. But I need to pass to htmlspecialchars some params, but I can't... I don't know how to do it 😕

This is what I have till now.

    // ... code...
    public function cleanData($data) {
        // ... a little bit more of code D:...
        $data = array_map('htmlspecialchars', $data, array(ENT_QUOTES));
        return $data;
    }
    /// ... more code ....

If I do that, executes htmlspecialchars without problems, but ENT_QUOTES doesn't work.

Now, if I do this

$data = array_map('htmlspecialchars', $data, array(ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));

In that case, throw this error :

Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given

Thanks in advance...

See you ^.

try defining your own function my_htmlspecialchars like so:

function my_htmlspecialchars($arg) {
  return htmlspecialchars($arg, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
}

And then array_map that function instead. not sure if that'll work or not...

Thanks man, I've already try that way, and it didn't work, but thanks for your help.

Anyway, I've done it 😃😃😃😃

This is the code :

        $data = array_map(
            create_function(
                '$d', 
                'return htmlspecialchars("$d",3,"UTF-8");'
            ), 
            $data
        );

Thanks for your help 😃

See you
