You're putting that string in HTML and it's being evaluated by the browser. It sees the < as the beginning of a tag, so it's looking for a tag to follow. Tags that the browser doesn't recognize are just not shown. Try to put <foo> in your HTML and it won't show up (may depend on browser). What you want to do is use an HTML entity for the <, > and other characters. < would be &lt;, > is &gt;. You can also use the htmlentities() or htmlspecialchars() function in PHP to do the conversion for you automatically. ---John Holmes...
