[phpXML] RE: [phpXML] Re: Entities

[<die...@ga...>]

part of the problem is that the entities array is in the wrong order (as of
the last version i downloaded).

here are the entity de/encoding functions i am currently using. i also have
added a class level boolean called 'encode', which i use to toggle whether i
want phpxml to auto-encode or not.

function encode_entities($text)
{
if($this->encode){
return htmlspecialchars($text);
}
return $text;
}

function decode_entities($text){
if($this->encode){
return strtr($text,array_flip($this->entities));
}
return $text;
}
