html_entity_dec ode() and htmlspecialchar s() for XML

Using the conversion to char sets described for these functions, is it
possible to get a whole string into some charset? I'm trying to figure
out a way to take invalid character sets from idiot users, and
translate the string so that in the end I have a string that won't
cause my XML to test invalid.

htmlspecialchar s()

Hi I have a string such as Добро" that shows the cyrillic word "?????" in the browser.

Hi, As you can tell by the subject of this post I'm having a spot of bother with htmlentities() and html_entity_decode(). I have built/am building a web site that allows user feedback.

Can someone please explain to me why/when one would use htmlspecialchars instead of htmlentities? I know: if you only want to get certain characters translated. This is not the answer I'm looking for, I would like to know *why* you would want that, as opposed to a full translation.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
