[PHP-DOC] Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #6707: Treatment of ' in htmlspecialchars() funcation From: Zak Greant (zak <email protected>)
Date: 09/12/00

User submitted note to manual regarding this issue.
I have already addressed his concerns.

I have added a note to the manual - perhaps one of the doc team could
update the manual to contain this information?

Here is a copy of my message to him:

To be able to use the modified function, you will need to check the most
recent copy of PHP out of cvs, and then compile and install install it.

Alternately, you can wait for the next release. The developers have set no
firm date for release, however I would guess that it will be in one to
three months.
