(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
html_entity_decode -- Convert all HTML entities to their applicable charactershtml_entity_decode() is the opposite of htmlentities() in that it converts all HTML entities to their applicable characters from string.
The optional second quote_style parameter lets you define what will be done with 'single' and "double" quotes. It takes on one of three constants with the default being ENT_COMPAT:
表 1. Available quote_style constants
| Constant Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ENT_COMPAT | Will convert double-quotes and leave single-quotes alone. |
| ENT_QUOTES | Will convert both double and single quotes. |
| ENT_NOQUOTES | Will leave both double and single quotes unconverted. |
The ISO-8859-1 character set is used as default for the optional third charset. This defines the character set used in conversion.
Following character sets are supported in PHP 4.3.0 and later.

注意: Any other character sets are not recognized and ISO-8859-1 will be used instead.
注意: You might wonder why trim(html_entity_decode(' ')); doesn't reduce the string to an empty string, that's because the ' ' entity is not ASCII code 32 (which is stripped by trim()) but ASCII code 160 (0xa0) in the default ISO 8859-1 characterset.
