<?php
function repl_amp($text)
{
$text=preg_replace("/&(?!amp;)/i", "&", $text);
$text=preg_replace("/&#(\d+);/i", "&#$1;", $text); // For numeric
entities
$text=preg_replace("/&(\w+);/i", "&$1;", $text); // For literal
entities
return $text;
}
?>
The RegEx Tester says that the first expression is OK, but when testing with various entities, some
of them came out broken. I'd tried to use only 2 preg_replace(); calls instead of three by
using the alternative branch from the pattern syntax - which didn't came out well. Sorry for
the previous error, and I still hope that someone can find a better alternative.
