Clearly <test line> is being interpreted by the browser as an HTML tag.
Use htmlspecialchars() to encode these characters in the string. Or find
and replace "<" with "<" and ">" with
">".

Subject: [PHP] Problem displaying certain text from a form on to the browser
Hi,
On my form, I have a text area. I was doing some testing and on one line, I
entered the following:
<test line>
When I looked at the results pages sent to the browser, that line was
missing. I think that the "<" character is the culprit. I've tried
stripslashes() and htmlentities() but I cannot get that line to appear on
the browser. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Don
