get_html_translation_table()

Syntax:: array get_html_translation_table(int table [, int quote_style])
table: Which table to return.
quote_style: How to escape quotes.

Returns a html translation table array.

The translation tables used by htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() can be fetched with get_html_translation_table(). The table returned is in the form of an associative array. The table parameter can be set to one of the two values HTML_ENTITIES and HTML_SPECIALCHARS. The possible values for quote_style are ENT_COMPAT, which only escapes double quotes, ENT_NOQUOTES, for no quote escaping, and ENT_QUOTES for escaping both double and single quotes.

Examples

Code:

<pre> 

<?php 



print htmlspecialchars(print_r(get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS), TRUE)); 



?> 

</pre>

Output:

Array 

( 

   [&] => &amp; 

   ["] => &quot; 

   [<] => &lt; 

   [>] => &gt; 

)

Explanation:

This code prints the contents of the HTML_SPECIALCHARS table. The HTML_ENTITIES table is much larger.
