title: PHP - $_GET - decode utf-8
body: <p>The documentation on this page <a href="http://ru2.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php" rel="nofollow">http://ru2.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php</a> says that "The superglobals $_GET and $_REQUEST are already decoded".<br></p>
  
  <p>But on my server this code<br></p>
  
  <pre><code>var_dump($_GET['str'])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>returns<br></p>
  
  <pre><code>string(21) "&amp;#1092;&amp;#1092;&amp;#1092;"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I make php decode strings in $_GET ?</p>
