Note Submitter: eksith at live dot com ---- Even if it's pretty simple to insert echo lines to your PHP, I would storngly advise against it. The safest way to output HTML content which may have special chraracters is to remove the HTML from your core code. Put them in heredocs instead. See the heredoc documentation and comments for more examples. If you can remove as much of the HTML as you can from the rest of the PHP code (in terms of printf and echo lines), please do. Try to keep your core logic and presentation separate. <?php $html =<<<HTML <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> ... The rest of your HTML... And a PHP {$variable} here and an array {$arr['value']} there. HTML; // End of heredoc // Print this HTML echo $html ?>
