@santanu I think it is setting's problem because at my home and office PC it is showing "<" instead of &gt; but when i run the same example in the online compiler like given in this forum, it shows &gt;. I have two more queries i.e 1) How to store a Java Script variable's value in PHP variable? 2) What steps can be taken for Security in PHP?

I think it is setting's problem because at my home and office PC it is showing "<" instead of &gt; but when i run the same example in the online compiler like given in this forum, it shows &gt;.

I have two more queries i.e
1) How to store a Java Script variable's value in PHP variable?
2) What steps can be taken for Security in PHP?

@Santanu, I want to print &gt; or the other characters for various symbols like &gt; for >, &lt; for < etc. and print("&gt;") also prints >.

@Santanu,

I want to print &gt; or the other characters for various symbols like &gt; for >, &lt; for < etc. and print("&gt;") also prints >.

You want to actually print > < or &gt; &lt etc.? I think in either case, a simple print command should print it print("<") or print("&gt;")

You want to actually print > < or &gt; &lt etc.? I think in either case, a simple print command should print it

print("<")

or

print("&gt;")
