Read The Fine Manual :)
http://php.net/html-entity-decode
On that page, there's an example code:
function unhtmlentities($string)
{
// replace numeric entities
$string = preg_replace('~&#x([0-9a-f]+);~ei', 'chr(hexdec("\\1"))',
$string);
$string = preg_replace('~&#([0-9]+);~e', 'chr(\\1)', $string);
// replace literal entities
$trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
$trans_tbl = array_flip($trans_tbl);
return strtr($string, $trans_tbl);
}
Try and see if it works.
