I have a problem
I need to be able to enter text containing both < (tag-starts-here) and < (less-than as an extended character) and other extended characters in a form, save them in a database and reload them into the form--and have them keep their precise characters.
But when I echo the content loaded from into the form's VALUE-field, PHP converts the extended characters, and I cannot see the difference between the < (a tag) and < (a less-than sign). If I save now the extended character has been replaced in the database.
When I later parse my text for tags, I get faulty ones because what was supposed to be a < comes out as a tag-starts-here-sign.
Any cure for that problem?
(PS: I'm actually anxious to see whether PHPBuilder's system can handle this properly, which I will now test by posting this... if it can't, my post might become a bit difficult to understand.)
