The README.md

HtmlEntities v4.1

Build Status Dependency Status Total Packagist Downloads Usage License, (*1)

Description

The ability to encode and decode a certain set of characters called 'Html Entities' has existed since PHP4. Amongst the vast number of functions built into PHP, there are 4 nearly identical functions that are used to encode and decode html entities; despite their similarities, however, 2 of them do provide additional capabilities not available to the others., (*2)

Encoding Functions Decoding Functions
htmlentitiesĀ¹ html_entity_decodeĀ¹
htmlspecialcharsĀ² htmlspecialchars_decodeĀ²

Ā¹ htmlentities and html_entity_decode can only encode and decode characters within PHP's HTML translations table., (*3)

Ā² htmlspecialchars and htmlspecialchars_decode can only encode and decode special charactersĀ³., (*4)

Ā³ special characters are not interpreted as HTML tags and 8-bit characters are encoded as ASCII characters only., (*5)

What Sets This Apart

What sets this class apart from the rest is that this class, in addition to being able to encode and decode all of the same characters/entities that can be encoded and decoded by PHP's htmlentities() and html_entity_decode() functions, it can also encode and decode a very large number of characters/entities which PHP's built-in htmlentities encoding and decoding functions won't encode/decode, due to their lack of special meaning in HTML, like:, (*6)

  • punctuation characters;
  • ASCII characters;
  • Greek characters;
  • Latin characters;
  • Russian characters;
  • Arithmetic characters;
  • and tons more...

Usage

Installation (via Composer)

    composer require gavinggordon/htmlentities

Examples

Instantiation:

    include_once( __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php' );

    $htmlentities = new \GGG\HtmlEntities();

Encoding:

    $to_encode = 'Test-,;:';
    // Set a variable containing a string of the encoded characters you wish to be encoded;

    $encoded = $htmlentities->encode( $to_encode );
    // Get the encoded result by using the encode method on the returned instance of HtmlEntities;

    echo $encoded;
    // Display the encoded result, which is of type String;
    // Test‐,;:

Decoding:

```php $to_decode = 'Test˜*(#'; // Set a variable containing a string of the encoded characters you wish to be decoded;, (*7)

$decoded = $htmlentities->decode( $to_decode );
// Get the decoded result by using the decode method on the returned instance of HtmlEntities;

echo $decoded;
// Display the decoded result, which is of type String;
// Test~*(#
