Description:
------------
Using SOAP package to connect to a TCL implemented Web service, we found problems sending strings containing one or more of the following characters: ì è é ù à ò.

In order for the server side WS to correctly interpret strings with one or more of the aforementioned characters, the character should be encoded in the form &#xXX; where XX the hexadecimal representation for the given character.

PHP implementation just uses PHP function htmlspecialchars() to convert the string inside method _serializeValue() before writing it in the SOAP XML . Unfortunately this is not enough when processing characters such as: ì ò à ù è é.

To solve the problem we replaced the use of function htmlspecialchars() with the following one:

function _htmlnumericentities($str){
return preg_replace('/[^!-%\x27-;=?-~ ]/e', '"&#".ord("$0").chr(59)', utf8_decode($str));
}

First the string is decoded from utf8 and finally converted as required.
