EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      A htmlspecialchars_decode(3) example

	      <?php
	      $str = "<p>this -&gt; &quot;</p>
";

	      echo htmlspecialchars_decode($str);

	      // note that here the quotes aren't converted
	      echo htmlspecialchars_decode($str, ENT_NOQUOTES);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      <p>this -> "</p>
	      <p>this -> &quot;</p>
