You want to display ">"? You use htmlentities when display the data to the user.

 

Take this for example:

 

<?PHP

  $HTML = '<span> THIS IS HTML </span>';
 
  echo 'Will not display ">" - '. $HTML;
 
  echo '<br> ------------------------- <br>';
 
  echo 'Will display ">" - '. htmlentities($HTML);
 
?>
