>From the php manual I copied and pasted this example:

<?php
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";

// Outputs: A 'quote' is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str);

// Outputs: A &#039;quote&#039; is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
?>

However, when I run it in my browser, the output is wrong:

A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>

the < is not converted to &lt (no conversion is taking place)

Is there a configuration that would disable htmlentities?
Does anyone have any idea as to what would cause htmlentities to not
work?

Thanks!
