explode() doesn't work on get_the_author_meta('description');
<p>I am using the <code>get_the_author_meta('description')</code> function to get the author description in WordPress with this code:</p>

<pre><code>$author_desc = get_the_author_meta('description');
$author_data = explode('&gt;', $author_desc);
var_dump($author_data);
</code></pre>

<p>With the description being: <code>E-commerce consultant&gt;man&gt;het e-commerce</code>. I want the explode function to create 3 array items, splitting the string by '>'.</p>

<p>But the result is this:</p>

<pre><code>array (size=1)
  0 =&gt; string 'E-commerce consultant&amp;gt;man&amp;gt;het e-commerce' (length=46)
</code></pre>

<p>It seems that it DOES put the string in an array, but creates only one row...</p>
