Want to display &#__; characters

[mikel]

Hello,

I have several characters in my html code like / W and so
on....
The problem is, tehy are converted in HTML in their approbiate
characters like @ is @ and F is F

But I DONT want to display the F or the @ I want to display on my site
the &# codes like @

How can i do that?

Thanks mikel

Well? A way could be...

[url]http://php.net/htmlentities[/url]

Or just str_replace('&', '&', $foo);

This problem is not really related to PHP, it is a HTML issue, your browser
reads those symbols as special characters when they are put next to
eachother. So,

Johan is right, the best way would probably be to do like this:

echo htmlentities('&#70');

Basically, you have to escape the escape character... make the ampersand an
ampersand, not a special character...

HTML-code it &amp;#64; (using PHP, coding-it-like-that, however you want),
and it'll display as "&#64;".
