First, this isn't a support channel. Please view
http://php.net/support for a brief list of available support methods.
The list you want is PHP General (CC'd on this email, and you can
subscribe at http://php.net/mailinglists ).
Second, you're using htmlspecialchars(), which is converting the <
and > to < and > respectively, which will cause the browser to
display it as if it was source (though viewing the source of that
would show you the entities).
Instead, check out strip_tags(), which is likely what you want:
