When I try this: 

<?
header('content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15');
echo
iconv('utf-8','ISO-8859-15',html_entity_decode(utf8_encode('&euro;'),ENT_QUOTES,
'UTF-8'))
?>

It works in a browser. Debugging in Zend Studio gives the wrong
character. It seems that Zend Studio uses the editor encoding or
something like that. When I change the encoding (under Desktop) to
ISO-8859-15 it works!

Your snippet also gives a4, which is correct in both the browser and
Zend Studio.

It seems to be an Zend Studio issue :) Thanks for pointing me to the
solution.

Thank you for your bug report.

I was unable to reproduce the problem. Are you sure that PHP outputs
the wrong character? It could be the tool you use to view the output has
a problem displaying the euro character. Try the following code:

echo bin2hex(iconv('utf-8','ISO-8859-15', html_entity_decode('&euro;',
null, 'UTF-8'))); // should output a4.

Description:
------------
iconv doenst handle iso-8859-15 well. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-15. The reproduce code gives ¤
and that should be €. Its seems that iconv converts to ISO-8859-1

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo
iconv('utf-8','ISO-8859-15',html_entity_decode(utf8_encode('&euro;'),null,
'UTF-8'));

Expected result:
----------------
€

Actual result:
--------------
¤
