>> Why do you use the custom $spec array instead of just reversing the function of htmlentities?

Because in a land long, long ago and far, far away... HTML page content may not be in correct form, and & # 039; versus & # 39; (without spaces) may cause an issue.

PHP Code:


			
$text = "&Auml; &auml; &Auml &auml"; // and so forth



$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES);

$trans = array_flip($trans);

$text = strtr($text, $trans);



echo $text; // prints Ä ä &Auml &auml

So you specify them in the $spec array, and PhpDig "tries to replace htmlentities by ascii equivalent." Just add to the $spec array those entities you want translated, and PhpDig should do the rest. Of course TMTOWTDI.
