htmlspecialchars vs. htmlentities

The 2 functions are identitcal, with the only exception being that htmlspecialchars only converts a small subset of characters to their html entity equivalent.  It is basically a safety function for preventing attempted xss or sql injections.  htmlentities converts any character that has an html entity equivalent.
