[SOLVED] php render html as text problem

[SN1P3R_85]

I am having a problem with a php script. I want it take the text, and convert all the html tags into literal text. By this i mean if i have a string:

 

<?php
$str = "hello<br /><br />hello"
?>

 

I want it to print to the screen as hello<br /><br />hello. My script automatically prints it as an html entity, so it will actually do a line break in the string container. However, my script detects line breaks in the php and puts <br /> in, so I need to somehow take the string, convert it to straight text, then be able to still add html, and have it display as html.

 

Thanks, SN1P3R_85

Check out the manual on php.net for use of how to maybe tweak it if you need to.
