Bug Type: *General Issues
Operating System: redhat linux 5.2
PHP Version: 4.0.2
New Comment:
The previous comment is extremely condesending and does not help.
I am trying to produce the string '"Any Person
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" to put in an email with a long
circulation list using Sendmail. The string has to be created from two
database entries - Any Person and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If I combine the strings within the database and export it PHP
truncates it at '<' giving the result '"Any Person ' as the email
address.
I see '<' has a special function in HEREDOC string usuage but ?

You probably are looking on it from a browser. browser shows HTMl, i.e.
it won't show a < because it thinks it's an HTML tag.

Setting a variable in any of the following ways and then printing it
will show no value for the variable. Note that the string can start
with any whitespace as well - e.g. ' <' will not work either. And
setting to for example ' < blah' will still not work but setting to '
x < blah' will print 'x'. Is this expected behavior?! How do I set a
string that includes the '<' character? Also, I thought strings quoted
with single quotes were not parsed ?
$fonts = array('heading' => 'FONT FACE="ARIAL,HELVETICA,SANS-SERIF"
SIZE="3">',
'column' => 'FONT FACE="ARIAL,HELVETICA,SANS-SERIF"
SIZE="2">');
$fonts['heading'] = '<' . 'FONT FACE="ARIAL,HELVETICA,SANS-SERIF"
SIZE="3">';
$fonts['column'] = "\";
$foo = '';
echo "foo: $foo ";
dumpList('fonts', $fonts); // this just prints the
list.
