htmlentities and vice versa

[fabiuz]

Hi,

I am using htmlentities to convert some characters to html format and than I store them into a database.

My problem now is that I am getting back this strings from database and I am sending them trought mail in text mode.

So often happens that user receive something like:

E’ stato un sogno

Is there any whay to go back to non html format ?

Thank you

You should NOT store the encoded string in the database. Instead, you should store the plain text in the database, and when you display it in the webpage, you encode it with htmlentities().

Yes, this is the right way absolutely!

I am so stupid sometimes ;-)

Thank you very much!
