Parameter

Description

function

Optional. Specifies which translation table to return. Default is HTML_SPECIALCHARS.

Possible values:

Tips and Notes

Tip: Some characters can be encoded several ways. The get_html_translation_table() function returns the most common encoding.

Example

In this example we will show both translation tables.:

<?php
print_r (get_html_translation_table());
echo "<br />";
print_r (get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES));
?>

The output of the code above will be:
