[drupal-devel] [task] drupal_specialchars() can now use UTF-8

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/19591

>From includes/common.inc (Drupal 4.6/CVS):
/**
 * Encode special characters in a string for display as HTML.
 *
 * Note that we'd like to use htmlspecialchars($input, $quotes,
'utf-8')
 * as outlined in the PHP manual, but we can't because there's a bug in
 * PHP < 4.3 that makes it mess up multibyte charsets if we specify the
 * charset. This will be changed later once we make PHP 4.3 a
requirement.
 */
function drupal_specialchars($input, $quotes = ENT_NOQUOTES) {
  return htmlspecialchars($input, $quotes);
}
As we now require at least PHP >= 4.3.3 (see INSTALL.txt) this can now
be tackled, I guess.
