How to escape a < sign that is in text?

[dmj07]

I have a text output that could be like:

hello < there

but when displayed it cuts out the part after the < sign so it just displays the hello

what is a way around this of escaping the < sign and showing the full message?

Many thanks in advance.

<, >, and many other characters have special meanings in HTML. Check out htmlspecialchar s().

You can use with in "" like echo "hello < there"
