function decode_entities in Drupal 7

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 4 includes/unicode.inc \decode_entities()
  2. 5 includes/unicode.inc \decode_entities()
  3. 6 includes/unicode.inc \decode_entities()

Decodes all HTML entities (including numerical ones) to regular UTF-8 bytes.

Double-escaped entities will only be decoded once ("&amp;lt;" becomes "&lt;" , not "<"). Be careful when using this function, as decode_entities can revert previous sanitization efforts (&lt;script&gt; will become <script>).

Parameters

$text: The text to decode entities in.

Return value

The input $text, with all HTML entities decoded once.
