<para>
This function is identical to
<function>htmlspecialchars</function> in all ways, except with
<function>htmlentities</function>, all characters which have HTML
character entity equivalents are translated into these entities.
</para>
<para>
Like <function>htmlspecialchars</function>, the optional second
<parameter>quote_style</parameter> parameter lets you define what will
be done with 'single' and "double" quotes. It takes on one of three
constants with the default being <constant>ENT_COMPAT</constant>:
<table>
<title>Available <parameter>quote_style</parameter> constants</title>
<tgroup cols="2">
<thead>
<row>
<entry>Constant Name</entry>
<entry>Description</entry>
</row>
</thead>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry><constant>ENT_COMPAT</constant></entry>
<entry>Will convert double-quotes and leave single-quotes alone.</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry><constant>ENT_QUOTES</constant></entry>
<entry>Will convert both double and single quotes.</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry><constant>ENT_NOQUOTES</constant></entry>
<entry>Will leave both double and single quotes unconverted.</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
</para>
<para>
Support for the optional <parameter>quote</parameter> parameter was
added in PHP 4.0.3.
</para>
<para>
Like <function>htmlspecialchars</function>, it takes an optional
third argument <parameter>charset</parameter> which defines character
set used in conversion. Support for this argument was added in PHP 4.1.0.
Presently, the ISO-8859-1 character set is used as the default.

If you're wanting to decode instead (the reverse) you can use
<function>html_entity_decode</function>.
