ok first of all your email was pretty confusing.... until i read the
entire thing! not that it's long, but that you sign off before you're
even done with it.

but i digress...

> $new = htmlspecialchars("<a href='test'>Test</a>", ENT_QUOTES);
> echo $new;
> 
> // this is what is output:<a href='test'>Test</a>
> // instead of this...
> // &lt;a href=&#039;test&#039;&gt;Test&lt;/a&gt;

when you say "output" do you mean, what you see in the browser, or what
you see when you view source?

&lt; is going to appear as a < in the browser. if you view source you
should see &lt;.

please specify.
