decode HTML entities in php

问题

I have this string:

<p>ëen twéé drïe viêr vijf zes ç   nnneeeeeeggeeeeennn<br></p>

after this string goes through multiple applications i end up with the following string:

   <p>&Atilde;&laquo;en tw&Atilde;&copy;&Atilde;&copy; dr&Atilde;&macr;e 
   vi&Atilde;&ordf;r vijf zes &Atilde;&sect; &nbsp; nnneeeeeeggeeeeennn<br></p>

how do i decode this encoded string back to the original?

I tried:

1. htmlspecialchars_decode(string)

   This returns:

   ëen twéé drïe viêr vijf zes ç nnneeeeeeggeeeeennn

2. htmlspecialchars_decode(htmlspecialchars_decode(string));

   This returns:

   ëen twéé drïe viêr vijf zes ç nnneeeeeeggeeeeennn

How do i decode this string?

PS. I did not know how to describe this problem in the title so feel free to edit my title

回答1:

Use html_entity_decode($string) instead.

<?php
$str="&Atilde;&laquo;en tw&Atilde;&copy;&Atilde;&copy; dr&Atilde;&macr;evi&Atilde;&ordf;r vijf zes &Atilde;&sect; &nbsp; nnneeeeeeggeeeeennn";
echo html_entity_decode($str);
?>

Thanks to answers provided i solved the problem:

i first decode the string with:

 html_entity_decode($str),  // thanks Blessed Nerd!

then i decode the string with:

utf8_decode(); 


$str="ëen twéé drïeviêr vijf zes ç   nnneeeeeeggeeeeennn";
$string2 = html_entity_decode($str);
echo utf8_decode($string2);

output:

ëen twéé drïeviêr vijf zes ç nnneeeeeeggeeeeennn
