PHP 8.3.4 Released!

get_html_translation_table

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

get_html_translation_table Restituisce la tabella di decodifica utilizzata da htmlspecialchars() e htmlentities()

Descrizione

get_html_translation_table(int $table = ?, int $quote_style = ?): array

La funzione get_html_translation_table() restituisce la tabella di decodifica utilizzata dalle funzioni htmlspecialchars() e htmlentities().

Esistono due nuove costanti (HTML_ENTITIES, HTML_SPECIALCHARS) che permettono di indicare quale tabella sid esidera. Inoltre nelle funzioni htmlspecialchars() e htmlentities(), opzionalmente, si può specificare il quote_style con cui si lavora. Il default è ENT_COMPAT. Vedere la descrizione di queste modalità in htmlspecialchars().

Example #1 Esempio della tabella di decodifica

<?php
$trans
= get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
$str = "Hallo & <Frau> & Krämer";
$encoded = strtr($str, $trans);

echo
$encoded;
?>

Il precedente esempio visualizzerà:

Hallo &amp; &lt;Frau&gt; &amp; Kr&auml;mer

Vedere anche: htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities(), strtr() e array_flip().

Be careful using get_html_translation_table() in a loop, as it's very slow.

The fact that MS-word and some other sources use CP-1252, and that it is so close to Latin1 ('ISO-8859-1') causes a lot of confusion. What confused me the most was finding that mySQL uses CP-1252 by default.

You may run into trouble if you find yourself tempted to do something like this:
<?php
$trans
[chr(149)] = '&bull;'; // Bullet
$trans[chr(150)] = '&ndash;'; // En Dash
$trans[chr(151)] = '&mdash;'; // Em Dash
$trans[chr(152)] = '&tilde;'; // Small Tilde
$trans[chr(153)] = '&trade;'; // Trade Mark Sign
?>

Don't do it. DON'T DO IT!

You can use:
<?php
$translationTable
= get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'WINDOWS-1252');
?>

or just convert directly:
<?php
$output
= htmlentities($input, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'WINDOWS-1252');
?>

But your web page is probably encoded UTF-8, and you probably don't really want CP-1252 text flying around, so fix the character encoding first:
<?php
$output
= mb_convert_encoding($input, 'UTF-8', 'WINDOWS-1252');
$ouput = htmlentities($output);
?>

to display the mapping on a webpage no matter what the server encoding is, this can be used

echo "<pre>\n";
echo htmlentities(print_r((get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS)), true));
echo htmlentities(print_r((get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES)), true));

since get_html_translation_table() actually gives the special chars in iso-8859-1 (Latin-1) encoding, so to see the tables correctly using

print_r(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES));

your server needs to give a HTTP header as iso-8859-1, unless you use header() or manually set the browser's encoding setting to iso-8859-1. And you need to view the source of the page to see the mapping. (except English version of IE 7 outputs the page source as iso-8859-1 anyway).

get_html_translation_table
It works only with the first 256 Codepositions.
For Higher Positions, for Example &#1092;
(a kyrillic Letter) it shows the same.

I wrote a quick little function for converting something like '&middot;' into '&#183;':

$to_convert = '&middot;';
$table = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
$equiv = '&#'.ord(array_search($to_convert,$table)).';';

htmlentities includes htmlspecialchars, so here's how to convert an UTF-8 string :
htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

Not sure what's going on here but I've run into a problem that others might face as well...

<?php

$translations
= array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES,ENT_QUOTES));

?>

returns the single quote ' as being equal to &#39; while

<?php

$translatedString
= htmlentities($string,ENT_QUOTES);

?>
returns it as being equal to &#039;

I've had to do a specific string replacement for the time being... Not sure if it's an issue with the function or the array manipulation.

If you have troubles (like me) getting data from ISO-8859-1 encoded forms where user copy and paste from word, this routine could be useful.
It adds to the standard get_html_translation_table the codes of the characters usually M$ Word replacs into typed text.
Otherwise those characters would never be displayed correctly in html output.

function get_html_translation_table_CP1252() {
$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
$trans[chr(130)] = '&sbquo;'; // Single Low-9 Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(131)] = '&fnof;'; // Latin Small Letter F With Hook
$trans[chr(132)] = '&bdquo;'; // Double Low-9 Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(133)] = '&hellip;'; // Horizontal Ellipsis
$trans[chr(134)] = '&dagger;'; // Dagger
$trans[chr(135)] = '&Dagger;'; // Double Dagger
$trans[chr(136)] = '&circ;'; // Modifier Letter Circumflex Accent
$trans[chr(137)] = '&permil;'; // Per Mille Sign
$trans[chr(138)] = '&Scaron;'; // Latin Capital Letter S With Caron
$trans[chr(139)] = '&lsaquo;'; // Single Left-Pointing Angle Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(140)] = '&OElig; '; // Latin Capital Ligature OE
$trans[chr(145)] = '&lsquo;'; // Left Single Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(146)] = '&rsquo;'; // Right Single Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(147)] = '&ldquo;'; // Left Double Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(148)] = '&rdquo;'; // Right Double Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(149)] = '&bull;'; // Bullet
$trans[chr(150)] = '&ndash;'; // En Dash
$trans[chr(151)] = '&mdash;'; // Em Dash
$trans[chr(152)] = '&tilde;'; // Small Tilde
$trans[chr(153)] = '&trade;'; // Trade Mark Sign
$trans[chr(154)] = '&scaron;'; // Latin Small Letter S With Caron
$trans[chr(155)] = '&rsaquo;'; // Single Right-Pointing Angle Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(156)] = '&oelig;'; // Latin Small Ligature OE
$trans[chr(159)] = '&Yuml;'; // Latin Capital Letter Y With Diaeresis
ksort($trans);
return $trans;

If you want to display special HTML entities in a web browser, you can use the following code:

<?
$entities = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
foreach ($entities as $entity) {
$new_entities[$entity] = htmlspecialchars($entity);
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($new_entities);
echo "</pre>";
?>

If you don't, the key name of each element will appear to be the same as the element content itself, making it look mighty stupid. ;)

without heavy scientific analysis, this seems to work as a quick fix to making text originating from a Microsoft Word document display as HTML:

<?php
function DoHTMLEntities ($string)
{
$trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES);

// MS Word strangeness..
// smart single/ double quotes:
$trans_tbl[chr(145)] = '\'';
$trans_tbl[chr(146)] = '\'';
$trans_tbl[chr(147)] = '&quot;';
$trans_tbl[chr(148)] = '&quot;';

// Acute 'e'
$trans_tbl[chr(142)] = '&eacute;';

return
strtr ($string, $trans_tbl);
}
?>

I found this useful in converting latin characters

<?php
function convertLatin1ToHtml($str) {
$allEntities = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_NOQUOTES);
$specialEntities = get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS, ENT_NOQUOTES);
$noTags = array_diff($allEntities, $specialEntities);
$str = strtr($str, $noTags);
return
$str;
}
?>

Alans version didn't seem to work right. If you're having the same problem consider using this slightly modified version instead:

function unhtmlentities ($string) {
$trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES);
$trans_tbl = array_flip ($trans_tbl);
$ret = strtr ($string, $trans_tbl);
return preg_replace('/&#(\d+);/me',
"chr('\\1')",$ret);
}

If you want to decode all those &#123; symbols as well....

function unhtmlentities ($string) {
$trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES);
$trans_tbl = array_flip ($trans_tbl);
$ret = strtr ($string, $trans_tbl);
return preg_replace('/\&\#([0-9]+)\;/me',
"chr('\\1')",$ret);
}
