You might have to make a function:

here is one you could use:

<?php

function reverseHtmlSpecialChars($variable){
$variable = eregi_replace("&amp;", "&", $variable);
//Etc... add more here: for example &lt;, &gt; ...
return($variable);
}

?>

// This is constructed from reading
// the php4 documentation
// WARNING: untested code

function unhtmlspecialchars($str)
{
// get the translation table
$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS);
// reverse the order of translation
$trans = array_flip($trans);
// apply it and return the result
return strtr($str, $trans);
}

Do You need a solution for php3?
But this following function is slowly. You should optimize.

function htmlentities_to_str($str) {

for ($i=255; $i>=32; $i--) {
$chr=chr($i);
$code=htmlentities($chr);
if ($code != $chr)
$str=str_replace($code, $chr, $str);
}
return $str;
}
