Only way to go :-)
You don't need to "undo" anything in the data submitted from the form. This is done automatically. Try it. It's the same as how URL values are decoded automatically.
Also, instead of str_replace, you can use htmlentities($string,ENT_QUOTES), which will convert single and double quotes (among other characters) just in case you end up using either one in your HTML.
