string this-> EncodeHtmlSpecialChar(string )

(Caronte Pcode version 2.0)

Description

string this-> EncodeHtmlSpecialChar( string );

Certain characters have special significance in HTML, and should be represented by HTML entities if they are to preserve their meanings. This function returns a string with some of these conversions made; the translations made are those most useful for everyday web programming.

This function is useful in preventing user-supplied text from containing HTML markup, such as in a message board or guest book application.

The translations performed are:

• '&' (ampersand) becomes '&'

• '<' (less than) becomes '&lt;'

• >' (greater than) becomes '&gt;'

Example. Source: CS_ANTISPAM_SCRIPT this = new CS_ANTISPAM_SCRIPT($_this); this->Print(this->EncodeHtmlSpecialChar("<>")); Out: &lt;&gt;
