#45865 [NEW]: incorrect values returned by htmlspecialchars_decode

From:             firealwaysworks at gmail dot com
Operating system: Linux
PHP version:      5.2.6
PHP Bug Type:     Feature/Change Request
Bug description:  incorrect values returned by htmlspecialchars_decode

Description:
------------
As I understand it htmlspecialchars_decode is the inverse of
htmlspecialchars.  The bug is that not all characters are inverted
properly.

Thanks,
Michael 

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo "\n".htmlspecialchars_decode(htmlspecialchars("'",ENT_QUOTES));
echo "\n".htmlspecialchars_decode(htmlspecialchars('"',ENT_QUOTES));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
'
"

Actual result:
--------------
&#039;
"
