My problem is that in a management panel you must show domains, users and passwords. The case is that the passwords have special caraacteres, among them < and > . And when it comes to showing everything between those characters, they are taken as HTML tags. Is there a function of PHP5 to show passwords literally?
The function you're looking for is htmlspecialchars() .
I show you its use with an example:
<?php
$password = "<123456>?.$<span>";
// No muestra el <span>
echo $password, "<br/>", PHP_EOL;
// Muestra todos los caracteres, incluso el <span>
echo htmlspecialchars($password), PHP_EOL;
Here is an example online: Example
