Question

I’m trying to display “<“/”>” as String in HTML not as a tag.

I have a database that contains user’s Fullname and Email and when I want display them both I have a format like this:

Christian Eric Paran <[e-mail]>

but I it only display like this:

Christian Eric Paran

is there a way to Display this in HTML from PHP?

Answer 1

Represent characters with special meaning (< → < & & → & being the ones you need to worry about in text nodes) in HTML using character references.

The htmlspecialchars function will convert for you.

print htmlspecichars("Christian Eric Paran <[e-mail]>");
