wp_specialchars_decode()

wp_specialchars_decode() — Converts a number of HTML entities into their special characters. Specifically deals with: &, <, >, “, and ‘. $quote_style can be set to ENT_COMPAT to decode ” entities, or ENT_QUOTES to do both ” and ‘. Default is ENT_NOQUOTES where no quotes are decoded.

Inputs: $text (string): The text which is to be decoded. $quote_style (string|int): Optional. Converts double quotes if set to ENT_COMPAT, both single and double if set to ENT_QUOTES or none if set to ENT_NOQUOTES. Also compatible with old _wp_specialchars() values; converting single quotes if set to ‘single’, double if set to ‘double’ or both if otherwise set. Default is ENT_NOQUOTES.

Returns string: The decoded text without HTML entities.
