What is the name of this type of encoding?

Question

If you copy and paste the following text into your html page,

انوان

You will receive the following Arabic text:

انوان

My question is:

What is the name of this type of encoding that includes numbers and the hash sign (#), and how to decode it in PHP?

Answer 1

These are ... HTML entities (or "Numeric Symbolic Links" for nitpickers).

Give it a try html_entity_decode.

Example:

$foo = html_entity_decode('انوان');
// gives you the arabic words in $foo

(If the line is on the form ا..., you need to apply twice html_entity_decode. (I don't know if editing codaddict is acceptable.))

Answer 2

HTML-. , , & , HTML. HTML.

PHP html_entity_decode
