converting charachters

[agod]

how can i convert {*} into %7B%2A%7D ??

 

but i only want the chars converted. so if the text parsed is "help{*}" it  displays "help%7B%2A%7D"

[DarkWater]

$string = str_replace('{*}', '%7B%2A&7D', $string);

I think this will suit your needs a bit better...

 

http://nl3.php.net/htmlspecialchars

 

Usage:

string htmlspecialchars  ( string $string  [, int $quote_style  [, string $charset  [, bool $double_encode  ]]] )

what is the conversion type? is it converting special chars into hes?

[DjMikeS]

My bad,

 

You need this:

string htmlentities  ( string $string  [, int $quote_style  [, string $charset  [, bool $double_encode  ]]] )

doesnt seem to be working.

 

$str = "help{*} "

 

echo htmlentities($str);

 

this does nothing

 

 

[DarkWater]

Did you try mine?

[agod]

yours would work but only for those chars. I need it to convert all chars except text. u get me?

 

[agod]

any ideas?

[sasa]

try

<?php
$test = "help{*}=?";
echo urlencode($test);
?>
