Source Code Displayed In Plain Text

[izzy]

Hi,

I'm trying to display a bit of HTML code on my page so my users can copy this to their websites if they want to.
It is supposed to be a direct link to their own userpage on my site.

This is what i want to display on my page. In plain text

<a href="http://www.mypage.com/index.php?id=<?php echo"$id";?>"<img src="http://www.mypage.com/bnt-logo.png"</a>

Every way i've tried it just keeps recognising parts as HTML or PHP.

Can someone tell me how to fix this problem?

Use htmlentities, function ie:
[code]$str = '<a href="http://www.mypage.com/index.php?id=<?php echo"$id";?>"<img src="http://www.mypage.com/bnt-logo.png"></a>';

echo htmlentities($str);[/code]

Also how is <?php echo"$id";?> going to work? How is the $id variable going to be set on the other persons site they post it on?

Sorry... that part is actually not supposed to be in plain text, that is supposed to echo/display the user id in question.

Could you please help me with that too?

do this, this is easiest and on top of my head:

$id = 235435;

$str = <<<BLOCK

<a href="http://www.mypage.com/index.php?id=$id"<img src="http://www.mypage.com/bnt-logo.png"></a>

BLOCK;


echo htmlentities($str);
