Well, if the general opinion is that there *should* be such a function included in PHP, around a week or so ago I implemented a version that uses the multiple charset aware tables that are already in html.c. But the voting was -0 (Derick) and +1 (Yasuo). Personally, I'm +0 since I have written the code but never ever needed to un-htmlentity a string in the last 2-3 years. --Wez.

Personally, I don't need the function since I can write it as script quickly. Since 2 person wrote similar function, it may be useful for others :) This is my opinion, but many developers are following I suppose. - Computer language/lib should be consistent. Therefore, there should be reverse order calc/operation should be able to do that whenever it is possible. It's easier to learn if it is consistent. Similar reason why I proposed <?php= ?> syntax.
