Changing é into html entities without touching the html elements ?

Good day to you all,
I'm working on a script which take the text from a txt file and add his content to an php page.
I have no problem with that part, see code below :

PHP Code:


		
			

$textsec = file_get_contents('text.txt');
echo nl2br($textsec);

This page can include <b> <u>... html element.

Where my problem start is that it's possible that I get some :

PHP Code:


		
			
&eacute;
&agrave;

..words with accent..

How can I convert them to their respective html entitie code without touching my html element ?

Thanks!

Try using UTF_8 in your HTML header...

Code:

    <html>

    <head>

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
