I try to develop a Flash title, animated or not, but at least to be able to use special fonts (dynamic and embedded in Flash with good anti-aliasing).
Problem I have is with check_plain introduced somewhere between 4.6 and 4.7, probably for security reasons. Now all titles are put through this filter that simply uses htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_QUOTES)
, but I would like to have the title before it is filtered. All single quotes are replaced by <ampersand>#039;
and they are quite often used in English language in informal slogans and possessives.
How do I get back the normal quote?
I just simply use Flash player's FlashVar, which works as URL parameter and it cannot handle them. I tried to find out in the API documentation how to get back the original title, but the more I looked the more I came to the conclusion that check_plain is use everywhere now and there seems to be no variable left with original title anywhere in Drupal. To me this seems overkill, but who am I to say that. To me it is an issue, but I would not know how to formulate it nor where to post it, in this particular case. Could somebody help me? Either by pointing me in the direction how to get the original unfiltered title back, or by helping me to formulate a convincing issue.
Up to now I tried to reverse htmlspecialchars as instructed in the PHP documentation, but still this <ampersand>#039;
remains.
