Description:
------------
As I understand it htmlspecialchars_decode is the inverse of htmlspecialchars.  The bug is that not all characters are inverted properly.

Thanks,
Michael 

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo "\n".htmlspecialchars_decode(htmlspecialchars("'",ENT_QUOTES));
echo "\n".htmlspecialchars_decode(htmlspecialchars('"',ENT_QUOTES));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
'
"

Actual result:
--------------
&#039;
"
