From the Annotated PHP Manual comments for the htmlentites function
(Always a good place to check before posting a question to the list)
==============
To backwards,
$trans = get_html_transition_table(HTMLENTITIES);
$trans = array_flip ($trans);
$original = strtr ($str, $trans);
Where $str is the string that had the HTMLENTITIES encoded text in it. It
will now be back to normal text...

Haven't tried it myself, but there it is.
