I have a problem with a string

[chantown]

I have this string , called $email.

 

if I do die($email), it outputs email@msn.com

 

But when I do:

 

$email = "<$email>";

die($email), it SHOULD output

 

<email@msn.com>

 

but instead, it outputs nothing!

 

does anyone know why?

 

I tried doing echo "<".$email.">";, but nothing works

< > are HTML tags.

echo "<" . $email . ">"; //why doesn't this work?

If you want to see the string "<xyz@example.com>" on your screen, you need to do:

<?php
echo htmlentities('<xyz@example.com>');
?>

or use < and > directly

 

echo "<$email>";
