Hex to binary display in browser

[lalloo]

I am creating a page in PHP that shows contents of a MySQL field that is used to hold HTML code. Now when I get the code from the database and display on the web page, it shows it fine except that if there is any hex code for sybmols (for example & #169; or even & copy; ), it changes the code to symbol (©). How do I make it show the HTML code exactly as it is in the database? Thanks a lot.

Hi lalloo,

Welcome to the forum.

Have a look at the htmlspecialchars() function in the manual.
