echo "<?php"

[Jonny T]

hi,
i want to echo the string '<?php' in a php script like :

echo "<?php";

but when i try nothing gets displayed ...

if I use

echo "<\?php";

then the string is displayed as : <\?php

Is there anything I can do ??

Yes, have a look at the HTML source.

use htmlspecialchars like this
$phpstrsp="<?php";
$phpstrsp=htmlspecialchars($phpstrsp);
echo $phpstrsp;

Just looking at how I have done it succesfully in the past as....
$fp = fopen($savename, "w+");
fputs($fp, "<?php" . "\n");

Try:
echo "&lt;?php";

-or-

echo '<?php';

echo '&lt;php'
You need to use the HTML entities character for '<' which is '&lt;'
(LessThan). This will also be valid (X)HTML too where '<?php' would not
even if it was displayed as you expected =)
