Hi,
No, it is not the easiest way, but it shows the output right to the browser.
If you use < and > in your output, your webbrowser will interpret that as a
tag.
adding htmlentities replaces the <> (and other problematic characters) by
their HTMLequivalents.
You can do what you were trying to do, but I cannot help you with the
regexp, because I suck at regexpr.
So my response was just a warning to use htmlentities whenever you are
feeding information to a browser, because of the unexpected result you get
when you do not.
Of course: Looking in the source (view source) of the page could help too.
Regards,
Erwin
