Encode & decode XML, HTML and own defined entities into different charsets.

FEATURES

• decode and encode hex entities
• decode and encode decimal entities
• convert from one charset to another
• selectable if named entities will be used (on encode)
• selectable if hex or decimal entities will be used (on encode)
• selectable how to handle characters/entities which are not convertable to given output charset
• selectable how to handle invalid characters
• ACTIONS:
  • throw exception
  • call callback
  • ignore
  • substitute by a substitution character
  • use entity
  • translit by ASCII name

Usage

Encode

$entityCoder = new EntityCoder(array(
    // set named entity reference
    // -> 'special', 'xml', 'html' or an array of your own entities
    'entityReference' => 'special',

    // set your input charset (default: ISO-8859-1)
    'inputCharSet' => 'UTF-8',

    // set your output charset (default: ISO-8859-1)
    'outputCharSet' => 'ISO-8859-15',

    // convert to hex entities if no named entity exists (default: false)
    'hex' => true,
));

$text = $entityCoder->encode($text);

Decode

$entityCoder = new EntityCoder(array(
    // set named entity reference
    // -> 'special', 'xml', 'html' or an array of your own entities
    'entityReference' => 'html',

    // set your input charset (default: ISO-8859-1)
    'inputCharSet' => 'ISO-8859-15',

    // set your output charset (default: ISO-8859-1)
    'outputCharSet' => 'ASCII',

    // How to handle invalid characters
    // EXCEPTION  = throw an exception
    // CALLBACK   = call a callback
    // IGNORE     = replace by an empty character
    // SUBSTITUTE = substitute by an substitution character (default: "?")
    // TRANSLIT_* = convert to ASCII name with a fallback to one of the other actions
    'invalidCharAction' => EntityCoder::ACTION_SUBSTITUTE,

    // How to handle invalid entities
    // EXCEPTION  = throw an exception
    // CALLBACK   = call a callback
    // IGNORE     = replace by an empty character
    // SUBSTITUTE = substitute by an substitution character (default: "?")
    // ENTITY     = leave the entity as-is
    'invalidEntityAction' => EntityCoder::ACTION_ENTITY,
));

$text = $entityCoder->decode($text);
