Proplem with special characters - Germanikus - 12-30-2018

Hello, everybody,
I have a problem with the special characters.
I would have to make many entries with an array and there are special characters like this " and ' with it.
If I put this in an input like this, it will be displayed.

Code:
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="" value="&quot;A&quot; Cell Incubator">

But if I use a "str_replace" to help, nothing is displayed.

PHP Code:
<?php
    $suche        = array("&quot;");
    $ersetze    = array('"');
    $text        = "&quot;A&quot; Cell Incubator";
    $texts        = "&quot;A&quot; Cell Incubator";
?>
<ul class="">
    <li><h1>Sonderzeichen "</h1>
        <ul class="">
            <li><?php echo str_replace($suche, $ersetze, $text); ?></br>
                <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="" value="<?php echo str_replace($suche, $ersetze, $text); ?>"></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul> 

My goal is to display the HTML code for special characters in the input.
