found it in snippet 'php stuff' on sourceforge.net. The author is Antik.

function unconvert_htmlspecialchars($string) {
if (strlen($string) < 1) {
return '';
} else {
$string=str_replace('&nbsp;',' ',$string);
$string=str_replace('&quot;','"',$string);
$string=str_replace('&amp;','&',$string);
$string=str_replace('&gt;','>',$string);
$string=str_replace('&lt;','<',$string);
return $string;
}
}
