Re^7: replace &

For example : If the string contain $a= &foo foo When I encode it using the function encode_entities($a); The should not be encoded. So the final output after encoding should be &foo foo Now the output is &foo foo. So I wanted to check it the string is HTML entity?

I don't get your problem. Maybe if you posted real code instead of a mishmash of unencoded and encoded entities outside of `<code>` tags, it would be clearer. The following code works as I expect it and seems to do what you want: `> perl -MHTML::Entities -le "print $HTML::Entities::VERSION; print enc +ode_entities('&foo foo')" 1.35 &foo foo` [download] Which would indicate to me that `&foo foo` does not look like any valid HTML entity.
