Hi,
I have a url that refers to a css background like:
url(./sites/all/themes/marinelli/img/backgrounds/men's_and_ladys&a mp;#039;_nights.jpg);
But now I'm wondering how I possibly should name that file or how i can decode this string to a url the filesystem & the browser can read?
Thanks for help!
Ron

The browser does it for you.

If the string is supposed to be HTML, you need to convert it into plain
text. It can be extremaly tricky becase the two most obvious functions
don't seem to work as advertised:
http://es.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php
http://es.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars-decode.php
Another alternative is to use mb_convert_encoding():
<?php
$html =
'url(./sites/all/themes/marinelli/img/backgrounds/men's_and_ladys& amp;#039;_nights.jpg);';
var_dump(mb_convert_encoding($html, 'UTF-8', 'HTML-ENTITIES'));
Then, it's pretty straightforward to create the file.
If the string is supposed to be plain text already, I see no problem.

This doesn't work for me, I got some error:
<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in <b> /homepages/9/d412202464/htdocs/drupal-7.14/sites/all/themes/marinelli/templ ates/html.tpl.php </b> on line <b>17</b><br />

It wouldn't link a file called
men's_and_ladys'_nights.jpg nor
men's_and_ladys'_nights.jpg

It's a URL, so the correct function to use would be urldecode().

But when I name the file
men's_and_ladys'_nights.jpg (what erldecode() gives me), it doesn't work...

The string was 2 times encoded.
Try to decode it again.
echo urldecode("men's_and_ladys'_nights.jpg");
gives
men's_and_ladys'_nights.jpg
I wonder why it was encoded like that?

This is not a URL encoding, but HTML character references.

Heh. You've SEEN what his editor does to quoting, and the lack of
concern exhibited over it... The double-encoding might well have been
caused just PASTING the single-encoded text.

That's a strange file name, but you can link to it in (X)HTML by
applying htmlspecialchars() to it, e.g.:
<a href="<?php echo
htmlspecialchars('men's_and_ladys'_nights.jpg') ?>">Men's and
Ladys' Nights</a>

Ah, you're right. I got caught up in the fact it was in a URL.

I wonder what code you are actually running, given that my snippet has
somehow grown HTML entities when you've quoted in your answer, but
that's a good old syntax error. Can't you really fix it?

I beg your pardon? If the string is plain text, you don't have single
quotes anywhere: you have literal & characters.
