Changing é into html entities without touching the ht

Post by Peuplarchie »

Good day to you all,
I'm working on a script which take the text from a txt file and add his content to an php page.
I have no problem with that part, see code below :

Code: Select all

 
 
$textsec = file_get_contents('text.txt');
echo nl2br($textsec);
 
 

This page can include <b> <u>... html element.

Where my problem start is that it's possible that I get some :

Code: Select all

 
&eacute;
&agrave;
 
..words with accent..
 
How can I convert them to their respective html entitie code without touching my html element ?

Thanks!
