| 1.20.x 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.:
