standard functions for web-programming

I'm heavily missing standard functions for web-programming like you find in php:

nl2br:
takes a string and changes all "\n" to "<br>\n"

htmlentities:
takes a string an encodes characters like "<>�" to "&lt;&gt;&ouml;"

urlencode:
takes a URL's query-string an encodes it:
like 
variable: abc
value: X =?0?&"X
"http://localhost/index.jsp?abc=X =?0?&"X"
to
"http://localhost/index.jsp?abc=X%20%3D%3F0%3F%26%22X"

are these functions already existing and I'm not finding them?
or does anyone know a source???

thanks
