I am trying to streamline some work by having a PHP page automatically generate HTML code I can cut and paste into a webpage, save the page, and voila! Done!

I thought I needed to use the html special characters, but I'm running into problems.

echo '&lt' . 'img src="' . $dirname . $file . '"' . "<br>" . 'alt="AlternateText"' . "<br>" . 'title="TitleText"' . "<br>" . $dimensions[3] . "&gt" . "<br>";

prints:

&ltimg src="/images/updates/2009/Q4/12/02/CM/kitten.jpg"
alt="AlternateText"
title="TitleText"
width="590" height="885">

instead of (what I'm looking for):

<img src="/images/updates/2009/Q4/12/02/CM/kitten.jpg"
alt="AlternateText"
title="TitleText"
width="590" height="885">

It appears it is interpreting ('&lt' . 'img src="') as one long string instead of echoing the < and then "img=".

So, does anyone know how I either:
indicate the end of the HTML special character string &lt
or, achieve the same result a different way

Many thanks!

You need semi-colons on the ends - so '&lt;' - I forget this from time to time and it can wreak havoc :-)

Another way that might work for you is to output the code as the contents of a multiline text box:-
<textarea cols="50" rows="4" name="comment">$htmloutput</textarea>

AH! Thank you so much!
