PHP to Javascript Project: php.js

php.jsThis article is part of the 'Porting PHP to Javascript' Project, which aims to decrease the gap between developing for PHP & Javascript.

A lot of people are familiar with PHP's functions, and though Javascript functions are often quite similar, some functions may be missing or addressed differently. The Javascript implementations should be as compliant with the PHP versions as possible, a good indication is that the PHP function manual could also apply to the Javascript version.

Porting crucial PHP functions to Javascript can be fun & useful. Currently some PHP functions have been added, but readers are encouraged to contribute and improve functions by adding comments. Eventually the goal is to save all the functions in one php.js file and make it publicly available for your coding pleasure.

If you choose to contribute, let me know how you want to be credited in the function's comments. You may also want to subscribe to RSS so you receive updates whenever new functions are posted.

This is a Javascript version of the PHP function: html_entity_decode.

I have moved out PHP.JS to it's own site. For info & reactions on comments please goto phpjs.org

PHP html_entity_decode

Description

html_entity_decode - Convert all HTML entities to their applicable characters

string html_entity_decode( string string [, int quote_style [, string charset]] )

html_entity_decode() is the opposite of htmlentities() in that it converts all HTML entities to their applicable characters from string.

Parameters

  • string

    The input string.

  • quote_style

    The optional second quote_style parameter lets you define what will be done with 'single' and "double" quotes. It takes on one of three constants with the default being ENT_COMPAT:

    Available quote_style constants

    Constant Name Description
    ENT_COMPAT Will convert double-quotes and leave single-quotes alone.
    ENT_QUOTES Will convert both double and single quotes.
    ENT_NOQUOTES Will leave both double and single quotes unconverted.
  • charset

    The ISO-8859-1 character set is used as default for the optional third charset . This defines the character set used in conversion.

    Following character sets are supported in PHP 4.3.0 and later.

    Supported charsets

    Charset Aliases Description
    ISO-8859-1 ISO8859-1 Western European, Latin-1
    ISO-8859-15 ISO8859-15 Western European, Latin-9. Adds the Euro sign, French and Finnish letters missing in Latin-1(ISO-8859-1).
    UTF-8   ASCII compatible multi-byte 8-bit Unicode.
    cp866 ibm866, 866 DOS-specific Cyrillic charset. This charset is supported in 4.3.2.
    cp1251 Windows-1251, win-1251, 1251 Windows-specific Cyrillic charset. This charset is supported in 4.3.2.
    cp1252 Windows-1252, 1252 Windows specific charset for Western European.
    KOI8-R koi8-ru, koi8r Russian. This charset is supported in 4.3.2.
    BIG5 950 Traditional Chinese, mainly used in Taiwan.
    GB2312 936 Simplified Chinese, national standard character set.
    BIG5-HKSCS   Big5 with Hong Kong extensions, Traditional Chinese.
    Shift_JIS SJIS, 932 Japanese
    EUC-JP EUCJP Japanese

    Note: Any other character sets are not recognized and ISO-8859-1 will be used instead.

Return Values

Returns the decoded string.

    var histogram = {}, symbol = '', tmp_str = '', entity = '';
    tmp_str = string.toString();
    
    if (false === (histogram = this.get_html_translation_table('HTML_ENTITIES', quote_style))) {
        return false;
    }
 
    for (symbol in histogram) {
        entity = histogram[symbol];
        tmp_str = tmp_str.split(entity).join(symbol);
    }
    tmp_str = tmp_str.split(''').join("'");
    
    return tmp_str;
}

To run the Javascript html_entity_decode, you will also need the following dependencies:

Examples

Currently there are 2 examples

Example 1

This is how you could call html_entity_decode()
html_entity_decode('Kevin & van Zonneveld');
And that would return
'Kevin & van Zonneveld'

Example 2

This is how you could call html_entity_decode()
html_entity_decode('<');
And that would return
'<'

Any contribution leading to improvement will directly get your name & link here.


Coming Project features

Project features that we are currently working on:

  • Done - Site. A place for php.js of it's own. See: phpjs.org.
  • Done - Compile. Compile your own php.js version, with only the functions you need. Should generate a hash with which you can retrieve latest versions of your php.js combination.
    • Done - Testsuite. A better test-suite that can be ran locally so developers can easily test before commiting. Also the testing itself should be more thorough.
  • Done - Versioning. Individual functions are versioned, but the entire library should be versioned as well.

#13. Kevin on 31 December 2008

Member avatar: Kevin@ Azriel Fasten: Yes but that would also make it harder for people to just copy 1 function:
http://trac.plutonia.nl/projects/phpjs/wiki/DeveloperGuidelines#DependencyvsRedundancy

The less dependencies the better, but of course we are not about to duplicate the histogram from get_html_translation_table 4 times, so dependencies are already made in this function family.

... [more] I think we should probably first come up with the fastest str_replace as possible. And base our decision (Dependency vs Redundancy) on the final algorithm used.

#12. Azriel Fasten on 30 December 2008

Gravatar.com: Azriel FastenI think that perhaps the replace should be relegated to str_replace, and that function should be highly optimized. Many other parts of the library all use different ways of replacing. These should all use str_replace.

#11. Kevin on 30 December 2008

Member avatar: Kevin@ Azriel Fasten: You reported a bug by mail, that is exactly the same as the real PHP encountered at one point: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25707

I've read the bug report more thorough, and applied the same fix as was proposed there.
I put the & entity at the bottom of the histogram.

... [more] Faster ways to replace (without using regex) can still be explored.

#10. Kevin on 20 October 2008

Member avatar: Kevin@ marc andreu: I've revised all of the functions like get_html_translation_table, htmlentities & htmlspecialchars and their decoding counterparts, they now also support your second argument. Thank you!

#9. marc andreu on 15 October 2008

Gravatar.com: marc andreuHi I needed to deal with secodn parameter of html_entity_decode() funcion, and I added it as follows. I hope to be right, however it's a suggestion. That's all folks.

// {{{ html_entity_decode
function html_entity_decode(string, quote_style ) {
// Convert all HTML entities to their applicable characters

Default avatar:rekcorThanks for the code!

But shouldn't you destroy

[code]tarea[/code]

(otherwise we will end up with n numbers of textareas floating around in the DOM's hyperspace)

Member avatar: Kevin@lubber: You sure did! And as I said, as soon as php.js supports optional components, I will include them. Thanks again!

Default avatar:lubber@Kevin: i use these functions to shrink my GET-Parameters in cases where POST wasnt possible (imagine an img-tag which will generate a custom picture and the parameters will exceed the 2048 url-chars limit on IE (that was the case for me)) Anyway, i just wanted to contribute my 2cent for this project :)

#5. Kevin on 19 March 2008

Member avatar: Kevin@ lubber: Wow that is some awesome code and I will definitely save the links. However, the 2 functions are probably rarely used in JavaScript. That hasn't stopped me before, but in this case the 2 functions alone (72kB) will increase the total project size by 52%. That's a bit to much for now.

However, when php.js gets a page for component customization, I will include the functions and just leave them unchecked by default. Sounds good?

Default avatar:lubberyou can find the javascript equivalents for gz_inflate and gz_deflate here

Default avatar:gerheh... I almost sure a can see some js code after the return...; in the function source listed at this page.
