Sorry, my bad.
I had been using my own function unhtlmentities() before I discovered  
it's already buildt in to PHP.

It should work if you replace unhtmlentities() with html_entity_decode()

It seems the server may have an older version of PHP which does not  
have the html_entity_decode() function...
Odd since the function has been in PHP since v. 4.3.0: http:// 
www.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php

If you can't get the PHP version on the server upgraded (strongly  
recommended!), you could do as I did: define your own function, and  
use that instead.
The code is taken directly from the PHP manual page linked above, and  
should be equivalent to the built-in function (only ISO-8859-1)...

function unhtmlentities($string)
{
     // replace numeric entities
     $string = preg_replace('~&#x([0-9a-f]+);~ei', 'chr(hexdec("\ 
\1"))', $string);
     $string = preg_replace('~&#([0-9]+);~e', 'chr("\\1")', $string);
     // replace literal entities
     $trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
     $trans_tbl = array_flip($trans_tbl);
     return strtr($string, $trans_tbl);
}

Hope you get it working
