Use special characters in option

Navigation
0

I do not know if it's possible but I need to use special characters in a <option> that has accents. The option value is collected in a variable called $genero . The example I am trying is the following: 

<option name="Acci&oacute;n" value="Acci&oacute;n" <?php if ($genero == 'Acci&oacute;n') {echo 'selected';} ?>>Acción</option>
$genero = isset($_GET['Genero']) ? $_GET['Genero'] : 'todos';

However, I do not know if due to PHP or HTML, instead of receiving the value of Acci&oacute;n I receive the Acción , with which the search in the database is null.

The problem is the browser is decoding it, but you could use the function htmlentities()

A simple example: 

<?php
    $var = "Acci&oacute;n";
    $x = htmlentities($var);
    echo $x;
?>

The result you will give us is the following: 

Acci&oacute;n

In PHP, place the following header: 

<?
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");  
?>
