HTML commands in XML message

[PeteM]

I'm using PHP to print the contents of an XML tag. The value of the tag contains some HTML formatting commands. Like this.....

<tag>Mary <b>had</b> a little lamb</tag>.

When I print the contents the browser is ignoring the embedded HTML commands and prints them as text string. What can I do to get them recognised as formatting commands?

P.S. When I view the source the command looks like "&lt;/B&gt;".

Try html_entity_decode($str)

This *should* work

Game on! Worked perfectly!
