Convert HTML code into Text 1

[s0crates9]

I have used file($url) as a way to grab a webpage and I am interested in knowing how to turn that code into true HTML code in text format instead of activated HTML. For instance I might pull off a link form a website and it will show up when displayed from a variable like so:

[COLOR=blue]Active link[/color]

instead of:

<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.site.com">Non[/URL] Active Link</a>

I essentially want the HTML as it would appear in notepad not a web browser or word file.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Try running the content of the website contents through [blue]htmlentities()[/blue].

PHP Manual entry for htmlentities:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php

Then you can Just echo it, and it should look normal, but will not get parsed by the browser.

That did the trick. I just ran the array variable in htmlentities and then ran it through the regular expression to produce the result. Thanks Vacunita!
