Note Submitter: Matt Robinson ---- Bafflingly, html_entity_decode() only converts the 100 most common named entities, whereas the HTML 4.01 Recommendation lists over 250. This wrapper function converts all known named entities to numeric ones before handing over to the original html_entity_decode, and hopefully isn't too insufferably slow (am I right in thinking that making the conversion table static will prevent it being reinitialised on each call?) Unfortunately it's just a little too long for this documentation. You can see the code at http://www.lazycat.org/software/html_entity_decode_full.phps
