(As if it was trying to close the tags.) For example (magic quotes on). Input $_GET has <[< <[>< <-< <->< And in addition the ,"\n\n<br>" seams to be adding its own '>'. A script showing this problem is below: <html> <body> <?php if ($_GET['text']) echo "You posted this string: ",$_GET['text'],"\n\n<br>"; echo "\n"; if ($_GET['text']) echo "htmlentities returns: ",htmlentities($_GET['text']),"\n<br>"; ?> <form method=get action="<?php echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> <input type=text name=text value="&lt;[&lt;"> <input type=submit value="Try this"> </form> <form method=get action="<?php echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> <input type=text name=text value="a<=b"> <input type=submit value="Try this"> </form> </body> </html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21397&edit=1
