    The example for "htmlspecialchars_decode()" below sadly does not work for all PHP4 versions.Quote from the PHP manual:"get_html_translation_table() will return the translation table that is used internally for htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities()."But it does NOT! At least not for PHP version 4.4.2.This was already reported in a bug report (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25927), but it was marked as BOGUS.Proof:  Code:--------------------<?php    var_dump(get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS,ENT_QUOTES));    var_dump(htmlspecialchars('\'',ENT_QUOTES));?>--------------------  Output:--------------------array  '"' => '&quot;'  ''' => '&#39;'  '<' => '&lt;'  '>' => '&gt;'  '&' => '&amp;''&#039;'--------------------This comment now is not to report this bug again (though I really believe it is one), but to complete the example and warn people of this pitfall.To make sure your htmlspecialchars_decode fake for PHP4 works, you should do something like this:<?php    function htmlspecialchars_decode($string,$style=ENT_COMPAT)    {        $translation = array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS,$style));        if($style === ENT_QUOTES){ $translation['&#039;'] = '\''; }        return strtr($string,$translation);    }?>Br, Thomas

    This should be the best way to do it.(Reposted because the other one seems a bit slower and because those who used the code under called it htmlspecialchars_decode_php4)<?phpif ( !function_exists('htmlspecialchars_decode') ){    function htmlspecialchars_decode($text)    {        return strtr($text, array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS)));    }}?>

    that works also with &auml; and &quot; and so on.get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES) => offers more characters than HTML_SPECIALCHARSfunction htmlspecialchars_decode_PHP4($uSTR){ return strtr($uSTR, array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES)));}
