Two things you can do to make displaying such data in a browser: 1) if you're trying to display text that has HTML entities in it, within a HTML page, use the htmlentities() function when printing output. http://www.php.net/htmlentities 2) if you don't care about HTML at all, send a Content-type header that tells the browser what you're sending is text. header( "Content-type: text/plain" ); g.luck, ~Chris
