converting from utf-8 entities to utf-8 characters

[stubarny]

Hi

I'm converting from utf-8 to base64 in order to use variables in email subject fields.

The utf-8 code i have is in entity form (e.g. "&#22363(ignore);" ) but of course if i convert this to base64 the subject will display "&#22363(ignore);" rather than the chinese character it represents.

So how can the "&#22363(ignore);" be converted into character form within the php code to allow the base64 encoding to take place?

Thanks for your help!

utf8_decode?

I think you're looking for html_entity_decode.
