The problem is of course that you have totally failed to understand the problem I was in fact having. It has NOTHING to do with the browser. The string output was never going anywhere NEAR a browser. The problem was how to CONSTRUCT a string using PHP, to put in a file or a database, that contain PHP escape sequences. Without. PHP interpreting them AS escape sequences. That is given the string $something, how to make $new="?>".$something."<?"; without PHP instantly thinking you wanted to print $something on stdout. > Also, as you have noticed, the failure modes that some people post are > not the failures that occur in the circumstances they describe.
