Code:
function form_prep($str = '')
{
if ($str === '')
{
return '';
}
$temp = '__TEMP_AMPERSANDS__';
// Replace entities to temporary markers so that
// htmlspecialchars won't mess them up
$str = preg_replace("/&#(\d+);/", "$temp\\1;", $str);
$str = preg_replace("/&(\w+);/", "$temp\\1;", $str);
$str = htmlspecialchars($str);
// In case htmlspecialchars misses these.
$str = str_replace(array("'", '"'), array("'", """), $str);
// Decode the temp markers back to entities
$str = preg_replace("/$temp(\d+);/","&#\\1;",$str);
$str = preg_replace("/$temp(\w+);/","&\\1;",$str);
return $str;
}
Code:
// Replace entities to temporary markers so that
// htmlspecialchars won't mess them up
$str = preg_replace("/&(?!\#[0-9]+;)/si", "&", $str);
Any best solution about it?
