Description:
------------
In previous versions I was able to decode the double encoded string by calling the html_entity_decode() just once. Now I have to call it twice to get the same functionality.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$encodedString = '&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;This is bold text.&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;';
echo $encodedString . '<br /><br />';
echo html_entity_decode($encodedString) . '<br /><br />';
?>

// Got expected result by calling decode funtion twice, which wasn't needed in previous versions of PHP or at least 4.3.2
<?
$encodedString = '&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;This is bold text.&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;';
echo $encodedString . '<br /><br />';
echo html_entity_decode($encodedString) . '<br /><br />';
echo html_entity_decode(html_entity_decode($encodedString));
?>


Expected result:
----------------
This is bold text.

Above text displayed in bold.

Actual result:
--------------
<b>This is bold text.</b>

Displaying as html code rather than bold text.
