4.0.4 php, content between <> is taken off automatically.

[x21er]

Hi,

I got a problem. I am using 4.0.4 php. The content between <> will not show in webpage.

For example,

$text= "a<b>c ";
echo $text;

web page only shows: ac.

Does anybody have some solution?
Thank you in advance.

that's because <b> is an HTML tag

i suppose you could use htmlspecialchars to convert
