What do you think motivates a person to quit his day job and go web working full time? Well, there are many reasons and each individual has his own story. But overall, I think one of the primary reason behind this decision is that we think we’ll have more time for ourselves and our family, and we’ll be our own boss.

htmlspecialchars_decode($str);

It should be:

htmlspecialchars_decode($str, ENT_QUOTES);

The latter will decode both double and single quotes.

Next time, I’ll re-read the PHP manual again. :) It was a “duh” moment for me.

It should be good now at http://feeds.feedburner.com/PinoyLancer

Thanks!
