Thank you for your bug report.

I was unable to reproduce the problem. Are you sure that PHP outputs the wrong character? It could be the tool you use to view the output has a problem displaying the euro character. Try the following code:

echo bin2hex(iconv('utf-8','ISO-8859-15', html_entity_decode('€', null, 'UTF-8'))); // should output a4.

When I try this: 

<?
header('content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15');
echo iconv('utf-8','ISO-8859-15',html_entity_decode(utf8_encode('&euro;'),ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'))
?>

It works in a browser. Debugging in Zend Studio gives the wrong character. It seems that Zend Studio uses the editor encoding or something like that. When I change the encoding (under Desktop) to ISO-8859-15 it works!

Your snippet also gives a4, which is correct in both the browser and Zend Studio.

It seems to be an Zend Studio issue :) Thanks for pointing me to the solution.

And as it's not PHP bug -> bogus. :)
