print or store '<?php' tags

[bilibytes]

Hi,

I am wondering how to print '<?php'

when y try or to store '<?php' string or to print it, there is no output

i think this is or a php.ini directive or a httpd.conf one

does someone know how to make that possible?


thank you very much

Printing "<?php" into your HTML would make it invalid. < has special meaning in HTML and XML documents and using it to try to show the < symbol would cause a parse error.

If you want to display that symbol in a HTML or XML page, then you should use the HTML replacement for it: &lt;

Like, for example, if you wanted to print: "1 < 2", then you would print: "1 &lt; 2".

You could also try running the string through the htmlentites function. That should convert it so it can be put into a HTML document without causing errors.

Thank you Atli, but the problem is from the server side.

if it was a browser problem, when i read source code, the <?php should be written there and it is not...

i will dig deeper into it, thanks any way

How would that remedy the problem?
