Hi!

I am using an XMLHttpRequest to POST a JSON string to PHP. The JSON object is created in JavaScript and using the JSON2.js from json.org to create an JSON string representing the object.

JSON.stringify(object);

Whenever the object contains a string which has a special character in it, e.g. é, JavaScript does not give any error but PHP receives an empty array

[]

Is there a JavaScript function which produces the exact same resutls as the PHP function

htmlentities()

The data is send via POST, so the following functions

escape()
encodeURI()
encodeURIComponent()

are a bit overkill.

Thanks!
