8 unicode.inc	`decode_entities($text)`

Decodes all HTML entities (including numerical ones) to regular UTF-8 bytes.

Double-escaped entities will only be decoded once ("&lt;" becomes "<", not "<"). Be careful when using this function, as decode_entities can revert previous sanitization efforts (<script> will become <script>).

Parameters

$text: The text to decode entities in.

Return value

The input $text, with all HTML entities decoded once.
