$str = '&lt;p&gt;This is a paragraph&lt;p&gt;&lt;?php echo \'hello\';?&gt;';
//No need for stripslashes with the above input...
$decode = html_entity_decode($str);
$record = str_replace('<?php', '&lt;?php', $decode);
$recode = str_replace('?>', '?&gt;', $recode);

This won't work well if somebody does:

$str = htmlentities('This is the <?php echo "<?php"?> "start" tag');

Depending on why you need this, and what you are doing, there are other
things you could do, but I don't want to try to guess what you need this
for...
