title: PHP and the euro symbo
body: <p>Lets assume the following string is entered into a form and submitted to a PHP script.</p>
  
  <p>"€ should encode as &amp;euro;"</p>
  
  <p>I would like to know how to actually get € to encode as &amp;euro;  htmlentities() doesn't do it, what voodoo is needed in order to get that to encode properly (and others like it)?</p>
