Can anyone convert this javascript to php

[pepsi599ml]

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to convert this javascript code to php.

The code itself converts Chinese (gb2312 encoding) characters to unicode format (&#x####.

I know iconv can do this, but some special characters are lost during the conversion anyway.

And I found this simple javascript does the work very well, so here it is, just a line.

 

str.value = str.value.replace(/[^\u0000-\u00FF]/g,function($0){return escape($0).replace(/(%u)(\w{4})/gi,"&#x$2;")});

ok, looking at the code carefully and I realized what I'm looking for

 

A php equivalent of javascript's escape function. tried urlencode but the result isn't what I expected.

addslashes perhaps?

or even addcslashes I believe will be a closer one

 

[edit]

 

Just reread how JS escape() works... those PHP functions won't help I'm afraid...

 

htmlspecialchars maybe?

think you're looking for rawurlencode.

 

js example (from w3schools.com):

 

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(escape("Visit W3Schools!") + "<br />");
document.write(escape("?!=()#%&"));
</script>

 

vs.

 

php

 

echo rawurlencode("Visit W3Schools!") ."<br/>";
echo rawurlencode("? !=()#%&");

 

js output:

Visit%20W3Schools%21

%3F%21%3D%28%29%23%25%26

 

php output:

Visit%20W3Schools%21

%3F%21%3D%28%29%23%25%26
