Convert string to regular text issue!

[papaface]

Hey,

 

I am some text in a script that is converted as follows:

	function get_htmlspecialchars( $given, $quote_style = ENT_QUOTES, $double_quotes = false )

{

	if($double_quotes)

		return htmlspecialchars(htmlspecialchars( $given, $quote_style ) , $quote_style);

	else

   			return htmlspecialchars( html_entity_decode( $given, $quote_style ), $quote_style );

}

Example:

get_htmlspecialchars($results['title'],ENT_QUOTES,true);

 

How can I get it back to regular text instead of things like:

ADELE 'Cold Shoulder'

Lettering

 

I can't for the life of me work out how to do it and its driving me insane lol

Ok I worked out how to do it:

htmlspecialchars_decode(htmlspecialchars_decode($conv_current['Title'], ENT_QUOTES ) , ENT_QUOTES);

In the browser it now displays correctly as:

ADELE 'Cold Shoulder'

But in text boxes it displays as:

<input type="hidden" id="conv_Title" value="ADELE &#039;Cold Shoulder&#039;" />

Again

html_entity_decode(htmlspecialchars_decode(htmlspecialchars_decode($conv_current['Title'], ENT_QUOTES ) , ENT_QUOTES),ENT_QUOTES)

That did it.
