[PHP] Re: html_entity_decode is trying to kill me

[Marc Guay]

This info might be helpful.  If I copy and paste the example from the
manual directly, it works as described:

$orig = "I'll \"walk\" the <b>dog</b> now";
$a = htmlentities($orig);
$b = html_entity_decode($a);
echo $a; // I'll &quot;walk&quot; the &lt;b&gt;dog&lt;/b&gt; now
echo $b; // I'll "walk" the <b>dog</b> now

But if I modify $orig to include spaces like so

$orig = "I'll \"walk\" the < b >dog</b> now";

the output is
I'll "walk" the &lt; b &gt;dog&lt;/b&gt; now
I'll "walk" the &lt; b &gt;dog now
