phpjitsu Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I suspect there is a very easy answer, but am having a hard time finding it. I have a fairly simple PHP page that spits out a bunch of html with a youtube video in the middle. The youtube URL is fetched from the database but something is wrong. It doesnt show in the browser and when I view the page src code from the browser, it has changed characters like & to &. Example. ----------------- <embed src="<?php echo $datarecord->youtubeURL;?>&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed> This gets mangled and looks like this in the browser: <embed src=" &rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed> What causes this? How do I stop it? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/78951-php-quesion-why-are-my-strings-changed-when-outputed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
