Hello PHP-Team, 

Some People wrote about that already, 
and they submitted some kind of work-arounds. 

My Feature-Request is about the function 
"htmlentities()" and "htmlspecialchars()" 

Well, i think a lot of people would appreciate 
if you would integrate functions like 
"UNhtmlentities" and "UNhtmlspecialchars" 
which would convert 'htmlspecialcharacterized' 
strings back to their original values. 

Regards, 
Maximilian

I will look into it.
I'm not sure about the name though.
html_entity_decode($string) ?
--Wez.

I'm closing this, because you can do this:

$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);

$str = "Hallo & <Frau> & Krämer"

$original = strtr($str, $trans);


IMO, this does not warrant a new function.
See also: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-html-translation-table.php

I didn't get what i want with Derick's idea.

My original String was: Schlenger & Meilhamer

and after the procedure with:

$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);

$str = "Schlenger & Meilhamer";

echo strtr($str, $trans);

This is what i get: Schlenger & Meilhamer

what i wanted to get: Schlenger & Meilhamer


So, This does not work like i want it to.

Go read the get_html_translation_table() manual page.
 [2002-04-17 01:15 UTC] cynic@php.net 
Although... I don't see why there shouldn't be unhtmlentities() or whatever.

Thanx, 

In the meantime i found it. 
But i had to write my own function to 
access the translation easier.

html_entity_decode is in CVS HEAD.
