Encode entities and quotes
Posted Feb 03, 2004 in ColdFusion.
Can anyone point me in the direction of ColdFusion functions that mimic PHP's htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES) and nl2br($string)?
Update: Just to let you all know, I found that HTMLEditFormat handled the encoding of entities. Converting line breaks into <br> required using the Replace function on the ASCII code for newline characters, which is similar to what Anne suggested in this post's comments.

Thanks, Anne. I was hoping that ColdFusion might have some built-in functions that would do the job, though. There is a function called HTMLEditFormat that might work, but I haven't had the opportunity to look at it yet.
