Drops < > brackets when displaying returned output

[iowaprogrammer]

Running a fairly simple script but not sure how to get the script to display the missing data encapsulated between the < > brackets. I would like to have the page display the results as returned.

$output = shell_exec('grep name@isp /archive/isp/tools/log/maillog.0');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";

Hi

I strongly believe there is nothing dropped and if you take a look at the page's HTML source, all those characters are in place.

Text between less than ( < ) and greater than ( > ) characters is interpreted as HTML tag, which in your output's case is an invalid one, so ignored in the rendered output.

To not have them interpreted as part of the HTML markup use [tt]htmlentities()[/tt] or [tt]htmlspecialchars()[/tt] to transform them into [tt]<[/tt] and [tt]>[/tt] character entities :

echo "<pre>",htmlentities($output),"</pre>";
