Examples

Example #1 map example

Example #2 mb_encode_numericentity() example

`<?php

$str

= "aAæÆあア𩸽";/* Convert all UTF8 characters up to 4 bytes to HTML numeric character reference /
$convmap = [0, 0x1FFFFF, 0, 0x10FFFF];
var_dump(mb_encode_numericentity($str, $convmap, "utf8"));/
Converts only 2-byte and 4-byte UTF8 characters to HTML numeric character reference */
$convmap = [
0x80, 0x7FF, 0, 0x10FFFF,
0x10000, 0x1FFFFF, 0, 0x10FFFF,
];
var_dump(mb_encode_numericentity($str, $convmap, "utf8"));
?>`

The above example will output:

string(46) "aAæÆあア鸽" string(28) "aAæÆあア鸽"

`We were experiencing difficulties with PHP/Sablotron on Solaris; placing HTML character references into the XSL transformation, when set to output UTF-8, converts them back into UTF8 encoded chars. This was then a problem for non unicode storage. Using a bit of code from http://homepage.mac.com/marko/ the following function converts the string back to character references:

function utf2html ($utf2html_string)
{
$f = 0xffff;
