If so, there is an excellent chance that the angle brackets are simply making your browser think that it's an HTML tag which the browser doesn't understand; since the browser doesn't understand it, nothing is output. Try wrapping the strings in htmlspecialchars() before you output, or using View Source, and see if you get the same result. Of course, if what you say is happening is really happening, it's a bug and should be reported to http://bugs.php.net. BTW, I've deleted your note; the errata notes system isn't the place for bug reports. Please make sure to read the instructions at http://www.php.net/manual/add-note.php before adding another note.
