It outputs &lt;a href=, if you view it with a browser it display's <a href,
instead of making an 'a' element. View your source.

If you want to display you special characters like &lt; in a browser: either
double yoiu htmlentities/htmlspecialchars (so,
htmlspecialchars(htmlspecialchars($string))), or
str_replace('&','&amp;',$string) after you have replaced ther characters.
