Very well hidden after the charsets table, you can find

<quote src="http://www.php.net/htmlentities">
If you're wanting to decode instead (the reverse) you can use
html_entity_dec ode().
</quote>

and you can find more about html_entity_dec ode @

PHP: html_entity_decode - Manual

http://www.php.net/html_entity_decode

Convert HTML entities to their corresponding characters

#v+
<?php
$x = 'test <html parm="val"/> test';

$y = htmlentities($x );
$z = html_entity_dec ode($y);

echo "x=$x\ny=$y\nz= $z\n";
?>
#v-

The output is (I run PHP in command-line mode):
x=test <html parm="val"/> test
y=test <html parm="val& quot;/> test
z=test <html parm="val"/> test

from the manual:

html_entity_dec ode() is the opposite of htmlentities() in that it
converts all HTML entities to their applicable characters from string.
