Sometimes we need to decode HTML entities from any specific strings in PHP. Basically it’s more used for retrieve HTML entities from a MySQL cell.? To Convert all HTML entities to their applicable characters there is one function available that is called html_entity_decode().
html_entity_decode($YourStrings)
Example:
<?php
$orig?=?"I'll?"love"?the?<b>girl</b> very much";
$a?=?htmlentities($orig);
$b?=?html_entity_decode($a);
echo?$a;?//?I'll?"love"?the?<b>girl</b> very much
echo?$b;?//?I'll?"love"?the?<b>girl</b> very much?>
