I have a request but don't know where to send it. Thus, it ends up here. Alternately, I'm looking for some solutions:
The request: Can the macintosh character set be added as an option for htmlentities() and other commands? That would be so helpful for our mac-based company.
The problem: I'm fairly new to php and have found that the macintosh character set is pretty different from other standard sets, so when someone in our company enters an em-dash (an extended dash, that would be represented as &emdash; in html) into our SQL database, browsers display it as Ñ (Ñ) because that's the correct mapping in other, standard sets. Of course, I could do a replace on that character, but there are another 6 characters that I know of that will cause problems, and probably more beyond that. The quick and good way is to convert with htmlentities(), but the mac charset is lacking.
Any suggestions how to fix this?
