Hmmm... interesting... I tested your exact code in this format :

<?php
$result[] = "é";
$result[1] = htmlspecialchars($result[0]);
$result[2] = htmlentities($result[0]);

foreach ($result as $val) {
  print ("[" . $val . "]");
}
?>

which returned (sourcecode)
[é][é][&eacute;]

So with me, htmlentities works. Did you try this :

$a = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
var_dump($a);

? With me, it returns a 99 elements array with loads of characters,
including the "é". (PHP/4.2.3 on Win2000)

I have no idea what might be the problem, what does your translation table
look like?
