I believe you are wrong, at least the PHP documentation says otherwise
and it _seems_ to work for me (http://us2.php.net/htmlentities). Maybe
you are thinking about an older version?

Also the iconv() function can help you convert between (some) different
character encodings (http://us2.php.net/htmlentities).
