roflpwnt Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hi, ive been looking all over the place for an answer to this question and have been unable to find an answer. When i try to echo a string variable that has and html code in it, that code is not read by the browser and just ends up as regular text. Just for reference, what im trying to do is take partuicular posts on my forum database and display them in another page. the post shows up, but if there are any liks, images, etc in the post, rather than the browser displaying the link or image it gives me the html. any suggestions?

So instead do echo($var); or:[code]echo'Post:' . $var . ' '; [/code]notice the use of ' instead of "I hope I'm understanding you right.

toplay Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 phpORcaffine is correct and I just want to add that if you're using htmlentities() function to echo the HTML string out, then that would be another reason why the HTML is displayed as text instead of the browser interpreting it.
