htmlentities — Convert all applicable characters to HTML entities
$string
[, int $flags
= ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401
[, string $encoding
= ini_get("default_charset")
[, bool $double_encode
= true
]]] )This function is identical to htmlspecialchars() in all ways, except with htmlentities() , all characters which have HTML character entity equivalents are translated into these entities.
If you want to decode instead (the reverse) you can use html_entity_decode() .
string
The input string.
flags
A bitmask of one or more of the following flags, which specify how to handle quotes, invalid code unit sequences and the used document type. The default is ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401.
Constant Name | Description |
---|---|
ENT_COMPAT | Will convert double-quotes and leave single-quotes alone. |
ENT_QUOTES | Will convert both double and single quotes. |
ENT_NOQUOTES | Will leave both double and single quotes unconverted. |
ENT_IGNORE | Silently discard invalid code unit sequences instead of returning an empty string. Using this flag is discouraged as it » may have security implications. |
ENT_SUBSTITUTE | Replace invalid code unit sequences with a Unicode Replacement Character U+FFFD (UTF-8) or &#FFFD; (otherwise) instead of returning an empty string. |
ENT_DISALLOWED | Replace invalid code points for the given document type with a Unicode Replacement Character U+FFFD (UTF-8) or &#FFFD; (otherwise) instead of leaving them as is. This may be useful, for instance, to ensure the well-formedness of XML documents with embedded external content. |
ENT_HTML401 | Handle code as HTML 4.01. |
ENT_XML1 | Handle code as XML 1. |
ENT_XHTML | Handle code as XHTML. |
ENT_HTML5 | Handle code as HTML 5. |
encoding
An optional argument defining the encoding used when converting characters.
If omitted, the default value of the encoding
varies
depending on the PHP version in use. In PHP 5.6 and later, the
default_charset configuration
option is used as the default value. PHP 5.4 and 5.5 will use
UTF-8 as the default. Earlier versions of PHP use
ISO-8859-1.
Although this argument is technically optional, you are highly encouraged to specify the correct value for your code if you are using PHP 5.5 or earlier, or if your default_charset configuration option may be set incorrectly for the given input.
支持以下字符集:
字符集 | 别名 | 描述 |
---|---|---|
ISO-8859-1 | ISO8859-1 | 西欧,Latin-1 |
ISO-8859-5 | ISO8859-5 | Little used cyrillic charset (Latin/Cyrillic). |
ISO-8859-15 | ISO8859-15 | 西欧,Latin-9。增加欧元符号,法语和芬兰语字母在 Latin-1(ISO-8859-1) 中缺失。 |
UTF-8 | ASCII 兼容的多字节 8 位 Unicode。 | |
cp866 | ibm866, 866 | DOS 特有的西里尔编码。本字符集在 4.3.2 版本中得到支持。 |
cp1251 | Windows-1251, win-1251, 1251 | Windows 特有的西里尔编码。本字符集在 4.3.2 版本中得到支持。 |
cp1252 | Windows-1252, 1252 | Windows 特有的西欧编码。 |
KOI8-R | koi8-ru, koi8r | 俄语。本字符集在 4.3.2 版本中得到支持。 |
BIG5 | 950 | 繁体中文,主要用于中国台湾省。 |
GB2312 | 936 | 简体中文,中国国家标准字符集。 |
BIG5-HKSCS | 繁体中文,附带香港扩展的 Big5 字符集。 | |
Shift_JIS | SJIS, 932 | 日语 |
EUC-JP | EUCJP | 日语 |
MacRoman | Mac OS 使用的字符串。 | |
'' | An empty string activates detection from script encoding (Zend multibyte), default_charset and current locale (see nl_langinfo() and setlocale() ), in this order. Not recommended. |
Note: 其他字符集没有认可。将会使用默认编码并抛出异常。
double_encode
When double_encode
is turned off PHP will not
encode existing html entities. The default is to convert everything.
Returns the encoded string.
If the input string
contains an invalid code unit
sequence within the given encoding
an empty string
will be returned, unless either the ENT_IGNORE
or
ENT_SUBSTITUTE
flags are set.
版本 | 说明 |
---|---|
5.6.0 |
The default value for the encoding parameter was
changed to be the value of the
default_charset configuration
option.
|
5.4.0 |
The default value for the encoding parameter was
changed to UTF-8.
|
5.4.0 |
The constants ENT_SUBSTITUTE , ENT_DISALLOWED ,
ENT_HTML401 , ENT_XML1 ,
ENT_XHTML and ENT_HTML5 were added.
|
5.3.0 |
The constant ENT_IGNORE was added.
|
5.2.3 |
The double_encode parameter was added.

Example #1 A htmlentities() example
<?php
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>" ;
// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
echo htmlentities ( $str );
// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
echo htmlentities ( $str , ENT_QUOTES );
?>
Example #2 Usage of ENT_IGNORE
<?php
$str = "\x8F!!!" ;
// Outputs an empty string
echo htmlentities ( $str , ENT_QUOTES , "UTF-8" );
// Outputs "!!!"
echo htmlentities ( $str , ENT_QUOTES | ENT_IGNORE , "UTF-8" );
?>

The flag ENT_HTML5 also strips newline chars like \n with htmlentities while htmlspecialchars is not affected by that.
If you want to use nl2br on that string afterwards you might end up searching the problem like i did. This does not apply to other flags like e.g. ENT_XHTML which confused me.
Tested this with PHP 5.4 / 5.5 / 5.6-dev with same results, so it seems that this is an intended "feature".

For use of html tags, ampersands, etc. in xml document
(f.e.
<xml>
<xmltag1><span class="data1"> data 1</span> & data2</xmltag1>
</xml>
)
one can use the CDATA brackets:
<xmltag1><![CDATA[<span class="data1"> data 1</span> & data2]]></xmltag1>

html entities does not encode all unicode characters. It encodes what it can [all of latin1], and the others slip through. Љ is the nasty I use. I have searched for a function which encodes everything, but in the end I wrote this. This is as simple as I can get it. Consult an ansii table to custom include/omit chars you want/don't. I'm sure it's not that fast.
// Unicode-proof htmlentities.
// Returns 'normal' chars as chars and weirdos as numeric html entites.
function superentities( $str ){
// get rid of existing entities else double-escape
$str = html_entity_decode(stripslashes($str),ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');
$ar = preg_split('/(?<!^)(?!$)/u', $str ); // return array of every multi-byte character
foreach ($ar as $c){
$o = ord($c);
if ( (strlen($c) > 1) ||
($o <32 || $o > 126) ||
($o >33 && $o < 40) ||
($o >59 && $o < 63)
) {
// convert to numeric entity
$c = mb_encode_numericentity($c,array (0x0, 0xffff, 0, 0xffff), 'UTF-8');
}
$str2 .= $c;
}
return $str2;
}

Hi there,
after several and several tests, I figured out that dot:
- htmlentities() function remove characters like "??","??",etc when you specify a flag and a charset
- htmlentities() function DOES NOT remove characters like those above when you DO NOT specify anything
So, let's assume that..
<?php
$str = "H??????llooo";
$res_1 = htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8");
$res_2 = htmlentities($str);
echo var_dump($res_1); // Result: string '' (length=0)
echo var_dump($res_2); // string 'Hèèèllooo' (length=30)
?>
I used this for a textarea content for comments. Anyway, note that using the "$res_2" form the function will leave unconverted single/double quotes. At this point you should use str_replace() function to perform the characters but be careful because..
<?php
$str = "'H??????llooo'";
$res_2 = str_replace("'","'",$str);
$res_2 = htmlentities($str);
echo var_dump($res_2); // string '&#039;Hèèèllooo&#039;'
$res_3 = htmlentities($str);
$res_3 = str_replace("'","'",$res_3);
echo var_dump($res_3); // string ''Hèèèllooo'' --> Nice
?>
Hope it will helps you.
Regards,
W.D.

I'm glad 5.4 has xml support, but many of us are working with older installations, some of us still have to use PHP4. If you're like me you've been frustrated with trying to use htmlentites/htmlspecial chars with xml output. I was hoping to find an option to force numeric encoding, lacking that, I have written my own xmlencode function, which I now offer:
usage:
$string xmlencode( $string )
it will use htmlspecialchars for the valid xml entities amp, quote, lt, gt, (apos) and return the numeric entity for all other non alpha-numeric characters.
-------------------------------------------
<?php
if( !function_exists( 'xmlentities' ) ) {
function xmlentities( $string ) {
$not_in_list = "A-Z0-9a-z\s_-";
return preg_replace_callback( "/[^{$not_in_list}]/" , 'get_xml_entity_at_index_0' , $string );
}
function get_xml_entity_at_index_0( $CHAR ) {
if( !is_string( $CHAR[0] ) || ( strlen( $CHAR[0] ) > 1 ) ) {
die( "function: 'get_xml_entity_at_index_0' requires data type: 'char' (single character). '{$CHAR[0]}' does not match this type." );
}
switch( $CHAR[0] ) {
case "'": case '"': case '&': case '<': case '>':
return htmlspecialchars( $CHAR[0], ENT_QUOTES ); break;
default:
return numeric_entity_4_char($CHAR[0]); break;
}
}
function numeric_entity_4_char( $char ) {
return "&#".str_pad(ord($char), 3, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT).";";
}
}
?>

htmlentities seems to have changed at some point between version 5.1.6 and 5.3.3, such that it now returns an empty string for anything containing a pound sign:
$ php -v
PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: May 22 2008 09:08:44)
$ php -r "echo htmlentities('?hello', null, 'utf-8');"
£hello
$
$ php -v
PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Aug 19 2010 12:07:49)
$ php -r "echo htmlentities('?hello', null, 'utf-8');"
$
(Returns an empty string the second time)
Just a heads up.

A useful little function to convert the symbols in the different inputs.
<?php
function ConvertSimbols($var, $ConvertQuotes = 0) {
if ($ConvertQuotes > 0) {
$var = htmlentities($var, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$var = str_replace('\"', '', $var);
$var = str_replace("\'", '', $var);
} else {
$var = htmlentities($var, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
}
return $var;
}
?>
Usage with quotes for example message:
$message = ConvertSimbols($message);
Usage without quotes for example link:
$link = ConvertSimbols($link, 1);

A pointer to http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php if your intention is to translate *all* characters in a charset to their corresponding HTML entities, not just named characters. Non-named characters will be replaced with HTML numeric encoding. eg:
$text = mb_convert_encoding($text, 'HTML-ENTITIES', "UTF-8");
[#14] h_guillaume at hotmail dot com [2010-09-17 13:14:24]
I use this function to encode all the xml entities and also all the &something; that are not defined in xml like ™
You can also decode what you encode with my decode function.
My function works a little like the htmlentities.
You can also add other string to the array if you want to exclude them from the encoding.
<?php
function xml_entity_decode($text, $charset = 'Windows-1252'){
// Double decode, so if the value was &trade; it will become Trademark
$text = html_entity_decode($text, ENT_COMPAT, $charset);
$text = html_entity_decode($text, ENT_COMPAT, $charset);
return $text;
}
function xml_entities($text, $charset = 'Windows-1252'){
// Debug and Test
// $text = "test & ™ &trade; abc ® &reg; -";
// First we encode html characters that are also invalid in xml
$text = htmlentities($text, ENT_COMPAT, $charset, false);
// XML character entity array from Wiki
// Note: ' is useless in UTF-8 or in UTF-16
$arr_xml_special_char = array(""","&","'","<",">");
// Building the regex string to exclude all strings with xml special char
$arr_xml_special_char_regex = "(?";
foreach($arr_xml_special_char as $key => $value){
$arr_xml_special_char_regex .= "(?!$value)";
}
$arr_xml_special_char_regex .= ")";
// Scan the array for &something_not_xml; syntax
$pattern = "/$arr_xml_special_char_regex&([a-zA-Z0-9]+;)/";
// Replace the &something_not_xml; with &something_not_xml;
$replacement = '&${1}';
return preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $text);
}
?>
[#15] Sijmen Ruwhof [2010-09-13 12:18:04]
An important note below about using this function to secure your application against Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
When printing user input in an attribute of an HTML tag, the default configuration of htmlEntities() doesn't protect you against XSS, when using single quotes to define the border of the tag's attribute-value. XSS is then possible by injecting a single quote:
<?php
$_GET['a'] = "#000' onload='alert(document.cookie)";
?>
XSS possible (insecure):
<?php
$href = htmlEntities($_GET['a']);
print "<body bgcolor='$href'>"; # results in: <body bgcolor='#000' onload='alert(document.cookie)'>
?>
Use the 'ENT_QUOTES' quote style option, to ensure no XSS is possible and your application is secure:
<?php
$href = htmlEntities($_GET['a'], ENT_QUOTES);
print "<body bgcolor='$href'>"; # results in: <body bgcolor='#000' onload='alert(document.cookie)'>
?>
The 'ENT_QUOTES' option doesn't protect you against javascript evaluation in certain tag's attributes, like the 'href' attribute of the 'a' tag. When clicked on the link below, the given JavaScript will get executed:
<?php
$_GET['a'] = 'javascript:alert(document.cookie)';
$href = htmlEntities($_GET['a'], ENT_QUOTES);
print "<a href='$href'>link</a>"; # results in: <a href='javascript:alert(document.cookie)'>link</a>
?>

The following will make a string completely safe for XML:
<?php
function philsXMLClean($strin) {
$strout = null;
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($strin); $i++) {
$ord = ord($strin[$i]);
if (($ord > 0 && $ord < 32) || ($ord >= 127)) {
$strout .= "&#{$ord};";
}
else {
switch ($strin[$i]) {
case '<':
$strout .= '<';
break;
case '>':
$strout .= '>';
break;
case '&':
$strout .= '&';
break;
case '"':
$strout .= '"';
break;
default:
$strout .= $strin[$i];
}
}
}
return $strout;
}

[#18] sirarthur at sirarthur dot info [2009-10-05 13:05:36]
When happens that you want to encode special characters but not the HTML tags using this function you've two options:
a) Build your own function and go replace by character; eg.
<?php
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($string); $i++){
switch(substr($string,$i,1)){
//..... A VERY HUGE switch here with all characters to encode.
}
}
?>
b) use this function and simple restore the html tags afterwards. Which gives you a 6 line function as follow:
<?php
function keephtml($string){
$res = htmlentities($string);
$res = str_replace("<","<",$res);
$res = str_replace(">",">",$res);
$res = str_replace(""",'"',$res);
$res = str_replace("&",'&',$res);
return $res;
}
?>

If you want something simple that actually works, try this. Strips MS word and other entities and returns a clear data string:
<?php
//call this function
function DoHTMLEntities ($string) {
$trans_tbl[chr(145)] = '‘';
$trans_tbl[chr(146)] = '’';
$trans_tbl[chr(147)] = '“';
$trans_tbl[chr(148)] = '”';
$trans_tbl[chr(142)] = 'é';
$trans_tbl[chr(150)] = '–';
$trans_tbl[chr(151)] = '—';
return strtr ($string, $trans_tbl);
}
//insert your string variable here
$foo = str_replace("\r\n\r\n","",htmlentities($your_string));
$foo2 = str_replace("\r\n"," ",$foo);
$foo3 = str_replace(" & ","&",$foo2);
echo DoHTMLEntities ($foo3);
?>

Had a heck of a time to get my rss entities right. using htmlentities didn't work and using html_entity_decode didn't work either. Ended up writing a custom function to encode and decode. It might still need some work but I thought to share it because I couldn't find anything on the net. Always open for suggestions to improve it! Here it is:
<?php
$entity_custom_from = false;
$entity_custom_to = false;
function html_entity_decode_encode_rss($data) {
global $entity_custom_from, $entity_custom_to;
if(!is_array($entity_custom_from) || !is_array($entity_custom_to)){
$array_position = 0;
foreach (get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES) as $key => $value) {
//print("<br />key: $key, value: $value <br />\n");
switch ($value) {
// These ones we can skip
case ' ':
break;
case '>':
case '<':
case '"':
case ''':
case '&':
$entity_custom_from[$array_position] = $key;
$entity_custom_to[$array_position] = $value;
$array_position++;
break;
default:
$entity_custom_from[$array_position] = $value;
$entity_custom_to[$array_position] = $key;
$array_position++;
}
}
}
return str_replace($entity_custom_from, $entity_custom_to, $data);
}
?>

Note that as of 5.2.5 it appears that if the input string contains a character that is not valid for the output encoding you've specified, then this function returns null.
You might expect it to just strip the invalid char, but it doesn't.
You can strip the chars yourself like so:
iconv('utf-8','utf-8',$str);
You can combine that with htmlentities also:
$str = htmlentities(iconv('UTF-8', 'UTF-8//IGNORE', $str, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
Should give you a string with htmlentities encoded to utf-8, and any unsupported chars stripped.
[#24] Kenneth Kin Lum [2008-09-22 16:47:01]
use htmlspecialchars() if you are passing in a usual ASCII string. It is faster than htmlentities().
For example, if you are just doing
htmlentities('<div style="background: #fff"></div>');
then you can just use htmlspecialchars(). htmlentities() will look for all possible ways to convert string into html entities, such as © or é (which is e with an acute accent on top).
Note that ASCII is just 7 bit, which is 0x00 to 0x7F. htmlspecialchars() will handle characters inside this range already. htmlentities() is for the 8-bit Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) to handle European characters, or for UTF-8 when the 3rd argument is "UTF-8" to handle UTF-8 characters, or other types of encodings using different values for the 3rd argument passed into htmlentities().

correction to my previous post and improvement of the function: (the post was changed by the html parser and the characters displays as they should not)
<?php
function XMLEntities($string)
{
$string = preg_replace('/[^\x09\x0A\x0D\x20-\x7F]/e', '_privateXMLEntities("$0")', $string);
return $string;
}
function _privateXMLEntities($num)
{
$chars = array(
128 => '€',
130 => '‚',
131 => 'ƒ',
132 => '„',
133 => '…',
134 => '†',
135 => '‡',

147 => '“',

150 => '–',
151 => '—',

153 => '™',
154 => 'š',
155 => '›',

159 => 'Ÿ');
$num = ord($num);
return (($num > 127 && $num < 160) ? $chars[$num] : "&#".$num.";" );
}
?>
in the previous post, to correct the HEX values that are not rendered, the program use a for each cicle, but that introduces a mayor complexity in execution time, so, we use the ability to call functions in the preg_replace second parameter, and ceate another funcion that evaluates the ord of the character given, and if it is between 127 and 160 it returns the modified HEX value to be understood by the browser and not brake the XML
(this work with dynamic XML generated form php with dynamic data from any source)
p.d: the '&'(&) should appear in this post as a single ampersand character and not as the html entity

Correction to my previous post: the set of ENTITY declarations must be inside a <!DOCTYPE element; also is NOT pre-defined in XML and must be left in the entity list. I also extended the list with the windows 1252 character set using a sample function borrowed from php.net user comments and extended with euro entity which we need for our app. Here is the final code that is in our production app:
<?php
// Generate a list of entity declarations from the HTML_ENTITIES set that PHP knows about to dump into the document
function htmlentities_entities() {
$output = "<!DOCTYPE html [\n";
foreach (get_html_translation_table_CP1252(HTML_ENTITIES) as $value) {
$name = substr($value, 1, strlen($value) - 2);
switch ($name) {
// These ones we can skip because they're built into XML
case 'gt':
case 'lt':
case 'quot':
case 'apos':
case 'amp': break;
default: $output .= "<!ENTITY {$name} \"&{$name};\">\n";
}
}
$output .= "]>\n";
return($output);
}
// ref: http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-html-translation-table.php#76564
function get_html_translation_table_CP1252($type) {
$trans = get_html_translation_table($type);
$trans[chr(130)] = '‚'; // Single Low-9 Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(131)] = 'ƒ'; // Latin Small Letter F With Hook
$trans[chr(132)] = '„'; // Double Low-9 Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(133)] = '…'; // Horizontal Ellipsis
$trans[chr(134)] = '†'; // Dagger
$trans[chr(135)] = '‡'; // Double Dagger
$trans[chr(136)] = 'ˆ'; // Modifier Letter Circumflex Accent
$trans[chr(137)] = '‰'; // Per Mille Sign
$trans[chr(138)] = 'Š'; // Latin Capital Letter S With Caron
$trans[chr(139)] = '‹'; // Single Left-Pointing Angle Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(140)] = 'Œ'; // Latin Capital Ligature OE
$trans[chr(145)] = '‘'; // Left Single Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(146)] = '’'; // Right Single Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(147)] = '“'; // Left Double Quotation Mark
$trans[chr(148)] = '”'; // Right Double Quotation Mark

[EDIT BY danbrown AT php DOT net: The user's original note contained the following text:
"So here's something fun: if you create an XML document in PHP and use htmlentities() to encode text data, then later want to read and parse the same document with PHP's xml_parse(), unless you include entity declarations into the generated document, the parser will stop on the unknown entities.
To account for this, I created a small function to take the translation table and turn it into XML <!ENTITY> definitions. I insert this output into the XML document immediately after the
<?phpxml?>
line and the parse errors magically vanish"

Trouble when using files with different charset?
htmlentities and html_entity_decode can be used to translate between charset!
Sample function:
<?php
function utf2latin($text) {
$text=htmlentities($text,ENT_COMPAT,'UTF-8');
return html_entity_decode($text,ENT_COMPAT,'ISO-8859-1');
}
?>
[#28] marktpitman at gmail dot com [2007-10-15 07:21:37]
I just thought I would add that if you're using the default charset, htmlentities will not correctly return the trademark ( ? ) sign.
Instead it will return something like this: ???
If you need the trademark symbol, use:
<?php htmlentities( $html, ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8" ); ?>
[#29] D. Gasser [2007-04-24 10:40:26]
When using UTF-8 as charset, you'll have to set UTF-8 in braces, otherwise the varaible is not recognized.

I've seen lots of functions to convert all the entities, but I needed to do a fulltext search in a db field that had named entities instead of numeric entities (edited by tinymce), so I searched the tinymce source and found a string with the value->entity mapping. So, i wrote the following function to encode the user's query with named entities.
The string I used is different of the original, because i didn't want to convert ' or ". The string is too long, so I had to cut it. To get the original check TinyMCE source and search for nbsp or other entity ;)
<?php
$entities_unmatched = explode(',', '160,nbsp,161,iexcl,162,cent, [...] ');
$even = 1;
foreach($entities_unmatched as $c) {
if($even) {
$ord = $c;
} else {
$entities_table[$ord] = $c;
}
$even = 1 - $even;
}
function encode_named_entities($str) {
global $entities_table;
$encoded_str = '';
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++) {
$ent = @$entities_table[ord($str{$i})];
if($ent) {
$encoded_str .= "&$ent;";
} else {
$encoded_str .= $str{$i};

return $encoded_str;

If you are building a loadvars page for Flash and have problems with special chars such as " & ", " ' " etc, you should escape them for flash:
Try trace(escape("&")); in flash' actionscript to see the escape code for &;
% = %25
& = %26
' = %27
<?php
function flashentities($string){
return str_replace(array("&","'"),array("%26","%27"),$string);
}

Those are the two that concerned me. YMMV.

The data returned by a text input field is ready to be used in a data base query when enclosed in single quotes, e.g.
<?php
mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM Article WHERE id = '$data'");
?>
But you will get problems when writing back this data into the input field's value,
<?php
echo "<input name='data' type='text' value='$data'>";
?>
because hmtl codes would be interpreted and escape sequences would cause strange output.
The following function may help:
<?php
function deescape ($s, $charset='UTF-8')
{
// don't interpret html codes and don't convert quotes
$s = htmlentities ($s, ENT_NOQUOTES, $charset);
// delete the inserted backslashes except those for protecting single quotes
$s = preg_replace ("/\\\\([^'])/e", '"&#" . ord("$1") . ";"', $s);
// delete the backslashes inserted for protecting single quotes
$s = str_replace ("\\'", "&#" . ord ("'") . ";", $s);

This fuction is particularly useful against XSS (cross-site-scripting-). XSS makes use of holes in code, whether it be in Javascript or PHP. XSS often, if not always, uses HTML entities to do its evil deeds, so this function in co-operation with your scripts (particularly search or submitting scripts) is a very useful tool in combatting "H4X0rz".

Note that you'll have use htmlentities() before any other function who'll edit text like nl2br().
If you use nl2br() first, the htmlentities() function will change < br > to <br>.
