Take a look at the online manual -

http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/functio...tion-table.php

at the bottom of the page the example appears to go what you want,
converting from the HTML entity form to the plain language form.

Once I've downloaded the following code from
http://in.php.net/html_entity_decode But, they've deleted it now:-(
Anyway, in that example itself they've given the workaround for <4.3.0
(See, unhtmlentities ($string) on that page).

if (!function_exists('html_entity_decode'))
{
//Fix for older versions (<4.3.0) of PHP
//grabbed at http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...ity-decode.php
function html_entity_decode($string)
{
$string = strtr($string,
array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIE S)));
$string = preg_replace("/&#([0-9]+);/me", "chr('\\1')", $string);
return($string);
}/*---html_entity_decode()------*/
}/*---end of html_entity_decode fix----------*/
