TalkPHP - array_map + htmlspecialchars

So i'm looking for a way to decode an array containing encoded html special characters, without using a foreach so I used array_map to encode them, why not use it to decode them?

To my dismay after attempting to decode them by using the following

PHP Code:


		
			
return array_map('htmlspecialchars_decode', array($aArray, ENT_QUOTES));

I receive a nice error from htmlspecialchars_decode saying that it expects a string and I am trying to give it an array, shouldnt array_map apply the callback function(htmlspecialchars_decode) to all the elements of the specified array? :-$
