Inverse htmlentities / html_entity_decode

Viewed 2497

Basically I want to turn a string like this:

<code> &lt;div&gt; blabla &lt;/div&gt; </code>

into this:

&lt;code&gt; <div> blabla </div> &lt;/code&gt;

How can I do it?


The use case (bc some people were curious):

A page like this with a list of allowed HTML tags and examples. For example, <code> is a allowed tag, and this would be the sample:

<code>&lt;?php echo "Hello World!"; ?&gt;</code>

I wanted a reverse function because there are many such tags with samples that I store them all into a array which I iterate in one loop, instead of handling each one individually...
