The preferred solution would be to upgrade PHP so that it doesn't make your hair stand on end when you hear what version it is...
Other than that, you 'd have to implement your own given a list of HTML entities, a loop and str_replace. Even then you 'd have another possible problem: encodings (PHP 3 doesn't offer any encoding conversion support, so you 'd have to code that too if you need it).

If you're still on php 3.2.1, a version that is about 10 years old and no longer supported, you are doing something fundamentally wrong. Running an application on such an old, unsupported piece of infrastructure is a huge risk!
