[RESOLVED] Reverse htmlspecialchars?

[Shawazi]

I am pulling information from a database whose input had htmlspecialchars used on it. Is there a way to convert the specialchars into their actual signs so that &lt;b&gt; actually becomes <b> and therefore displayed the text as bold.

html_entity_decode :) found it

On a technicality, html_entity_decode() is the reverse of htmlentities(). htmlspecialchars_decode() is the reverse of [man[htmlspecialchars[/man]().
