html代码显示在php字符串中

Question

I am using var_dump to output a string but the length is different then what is showing so I printed out each character and found there are the hidden html codes #40; and #41; in the string attributing to the length. These are causing problems in an sql statement so I am trying to remove them, but htmlspecialchars_decode, and urldecode do not remove the characters. How can I get ride of these codes? The value is coming from a database is utf-8 (CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin) and does not have any html codes stored in it (stored as "Civic (sedan)" in table).

//this is the output of the string
Civic (#40;sedan)#41;
echo var_dump($data['model']).'<br>';

//output
string(21) "Civic (sedan)" 

echo var_dump(strip_tags($data['model'])).'<br>';

//output
string(21) "Civic (sedan)" 

echo var_dump(htmlspecialchars_decode($data['model'])).'<br>';

//output
string(21) "Civic (sedan)" 

echo var_dump(urldecode($data['model'])).'<br>';

//output
string(21) "Civic (sedan)"

html_entity_decode()是您所追求的，我认为...
