I am allowing users to input anything , I am sending( to database) < for < And > for > by using jquery on client side , And we know still a user can post bad things in database , So i am also using htmlspecialchars();
Now this function is converting the & into & , and whole < converts into &lt, So this don't appears as '<' for users in browsers. So thats why i don't want htmlspecialchars() to convert & into & ,So that user can see < tags after browser parse < as <
Any help would be much appreciated
