concatenating < > in to string

[Harmandip_Singh]

I have a string $string, i want to add a < to the begning and a > to the end so that if $string == "mystring" i should get
<mystring>

I think should have been in the Newbie section 🙂

try

$string = "<$string>";
or
$string = "<" . $string . ">";

try this

$newstring = "<";
$newstring .= $string;
$newstring .= ">";

Nice and simple.. I was gonna show you with String Functions.. But 3 lines is easier than 10+

this way it ignores whatever is inthe <>, i need to do something like this:
$gt = "&gt;";
$lt = "&lt;";
thanks though.

Try this

$string = htmlentities("<$string>"😉;
