pbeyrouty Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I am new to PHP and trying to display information from our database on our website. The data being displayed already has some html in it. For instance, the database will give something that looks like "Blah blah<br> blah". In order to get this to display properly when I use echo I used html_entity_decode. This got me the results I wanted when I was testing the webpage on our internal server (Mac Leopard Server). But when I put the page on the external web server that hosts our site it ceased to work. When I look at the source of the returned web page it just shows "Blah blahbr blah". Does anyone know why it would show differently on another server?

pbeyrouty Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 I have tried both ways from the database, but the way it originally worked was when the database showed <br>. Our internal server that displays the information correctly is running php 5.2.4, the external web server has 5.2.6 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/138075-different-results-with-html_entity_decode/#findComment-722481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
