avoid html escape character in php
html, html-escape-characters, php
Solution
PHP isn't converting anything.
The browser is converting `¤t` to `¤t` for display purposes. If you want to see what `$call` is in the browser then you will need to wrap it with `htmlentities`, but that specifically encodes characters so that the original `$call` is displayed in the browser.
However, you should not do anything to the string `$call` before passing it to `hash_call`.
Remember, there is a big difference between a raw string and what the browser displays.
Problem
I am trying to make an api call using `PHP`. One of the parameters is currency My API call goes like ``` <?php $call=".....¤cy=USD&......."; $response = hash_call("Pay", $call); ?> ``` But if I print the call, it prints out as ``` ....¤cy=USD&....... ``` I checked and found out that `¤ is for ¤` Edit: I tried urlencode, and htmlentities. While I hope to get ¤cy in the source, I am getting %26currency , & amp;currency respectively. I want to encode '¤cy', such that the browser does not convert ¤ to ¤. Thanks
