Guys may u please help me here

function myFunction($var)
{
$x = preg_replace('/&\#([0-9]+);/', html_entity_decode('&#$1;'), $var);

But if I parse myFunction('ά') for example it returns ά as is

The function html_entity_decode is not getting parsed at dat place I believe (tried replacing html_entity_decode with md5)

<?
function myFunction($var) 
{ 
$x = preg_replace('/&\#([0-9]{2,4});/', '&#$1;', $var); 
return html_entity_decode($x); 
}
echo myFunction("k");

It's kinda strange (')

Thanks bro, it seems my problem was a bit more complicated than that, i was matching characters

'&#([0-9]+);' instead of '&#([0-9]+);'

i realized that when i accessed the database directly
