Problem
You have a string encoded by HTML::entities() and want to decode it back to the original string.
Solution
Use the HTML::decode() method.
This is the opposite of HTML::entities(). For example.
$string HTML::decode('<h1>Hello</h1>');
In this example $string will equal “<h1>Hello</h1>”;
Discussion
This method wraps the PHP html_entity_decode() function.
Specifically it calls html_entity_decode($value, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'). These options compliment the ones passed to htmlentities() by the HTML::entities() method.
