Php convert string to html format

I have a string <div id="myid">...</div>

How would I change this into

I have tried a few things but no luck any help?

Update

function get_page[]{
  $file = 'file.php';
  $str = file_get_contents[$file];
  $str = html_entity_decode[$str];
  return $str;
}
$output = get_page[];
echo $output;//don't work

FIX

function get_page[]{
      $file = 'file.php';
      $str = file_get_contents[$file];
      return $str;
    }
    $output = get_page[];
    echo html_entity_decode[$output];//works
