read file with html

[kansaschuck]

I have a PHP program that throws some text into a file.

Later I display it using the code below (php and html).

But I'm trying to hop up the code a little and would like to bold/blink/underline
just a few lines of the output.

I've inserted the

<b> xx </b>

into the file along with the text at selected points.

When it reads it it just puts

 </b> </i> </blink>  

right onto the screen.

$text = file('/home/myplace/public_html/get_text001.txt');  


 // echo 'box in newdisplay below <br>';
$rev_input = array_reverse($text);
foreach ($rev_input as $line)
     // echo trim($line) . '<br>';
         echo ($line) ;
// echo 'box in new display above  <br>';

I'd like to be able to insert a few html commands into a text file and have them viewed as html with the web page reads it.

Thanks!

Maybe you're using htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities() when you output the text?

PS: Please think twice about using the non-standard <blink> tag, which some browsers do not support and many users find quite annoying when their browser does support it.
