This should be the best way to do it.
(Reposted because the other one seems a bit slower and because those who used the code under called it htmlspecialchars_decode_php4)

<?php

if ( !function_exists('htmlspecialchars_decode') )
{
   function
htmlspecialchars_decode($text)
   {
       return
strtr($text, array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS)));
   }
}

?>

Here is how you can get this function in php < 5.1, just make sure this function is before you try and call the function.

if (!function_exists('htmlspecialchars_decode')) {
       function htmlspecialchars_decode($str, $options="") {
               $trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS, $options);

               $decode = ARRAY();
               foreach ($trans AS $char=>$entity) {
                       $decode[$entity] = $char;
               }

               $str = strtr($str, $decode);

               return $str;
       }
}

The code supplied by or-k at or-k dot com (14-Sep-2005 09:15) is better served using html_entity_decode() for PHP>=4.3.0.
geoffers@gmail (14-Jul-2005 01:38) offers the best htmlspecialchars_decode() for php4 users.

that works also with &auml; and &quot; and so on.
get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES) => offers more characters than HTML_SPECIALCHARS

function htmlspecialchars_decode_PHP4($uSTR)
{
 return strtr($uSTR, array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES)));
}

[Update of previous note, having noticed I forgot to put in quote style]

PHP4 Compatible function:

<?php

function htmlspecialchars_decode_php4 ($str, $quote_style = ENT_COMPAT) {
   return
strtr($str, array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS, $quote_style)));
}

?>

For PHP4 Compatibility:

<?php

function htmlspecialchars_decode_php4 ($str) {
   return
strtr($str, array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_SPECIALCHARS)));
}

?>
