display CODE! from a mysql database on the page 1

lukelukeluke · May 29, 2004

Hi everyone.
I've done a little knowledgebase in php/mysql. Now i would like to have code like this: <html><body><?php ?> and stuff inside my database and when i print it out, it should be displayed. I mean i want to enter things like this with php: >, <
and want it to be stored into database like this:
>, <
It would be cool if someone has a solution to do that with all codes or with all |{]Ç[Ç{}?|}¿{|[|{[# to have them into the database so they can be displayed after...

thanks for your ideas

PHP offers 2 specific functions to convert characters to HTML entities:

http://us3.php.net/htmlentities

http://us3.php.net/htmlspecialchars

They translate a smaller/larget set od characters into the appropriate HTML entites.
Also, when you display content like yours consider the use of the <pre> tags to keep whitespace formatting.

htmlentities() worked very fine, thanks.

Now, how could i build something like the function of tektips, where you can enter a

Code:

....

and it creates you a div?

ideas?
thanks...

use regex or string_replace() to replace certain characters with something else

ie

Code:

$divcode = "<div id='mydiv'>";

$html .= str_replace("....",$divcode,$myhtmlinput);
