All,
I have submitted an RFC draft for including the proposed feature from this issue. Thanks to everyone who helped me in this process. It’s my first RFC, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes I’ve made in the process.
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/decode_html
This is proposed for a future PHP version after 8.4.
Warmly,
Dennis Snell
Hello,
I have just one nit: I think it would be better to use an enum for the $context 
parameter rather than a constant. 
It also feels like it ought to be nice to find some reasonable default... I'm sure many 
programmers will see this parameter and be 
unsure which value to use. There should, at the very least, be clear documentation with 
real-world examples in which cases which one should be used.
All in all, this is definitely a welcome improvement!
Regards, 
Mel
