How about reversing the HTML Chars (é => é). Here is a function that is able to reverse any of HTML entitities regardles if the entity has the ";" termination. That means it can detect and replace "télé" => "télé", and also "t&eacutel&eacute" => "télé". function ReverseHtmlChars ($str, $trans_table = HTML_ENTITIES) { $trans = get_html_translation_table ($trans_table); $trans2 = preg_replace ("';$'", "", $trans); $trans = array_flip ($trans); $trans2 = array_flip ($trans2); return strtr (strtr ($str, $trans), $trans2); } Also you can provide a second argument if you only want to replace the HTML specialchars. I've read a note of the Editor in which he said that this is kinda pointless because normally you don't need to reverse HTML chars ... well, thats partially true. In my case I really needes something like this because this way I can strip a html file of tags, reverse all HTML entities and obtain a very *human readable* text file !!! ... so its not so pointless. P.S. you can also think of a similar function that has as second argument the translation table rather than 0/1 so you can have your own set of translations (very very useful for text translations) Cheers, BoG http://bog.ath.cx -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23434 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23434 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23434
