PHP MYSQL output of code into input "value"-CodePudding

I am trying to output code into an input value like the below:

 echo '<input value="'.$row['content'].'"></input>';

$row['content'] would include simple html, a full page code for example. With the current setup however it is breaking out of the input field and pouring into the page code.

I would like a way for it to show all HTML as text including all tags and to stay confined within the input field itself.

Thanks.

Try this

 echo '<textarea>'.$row['content'].'</textarea>';

CodePudding user response：

if I undersand it correctly

<?php echo strip_tags($row['content']) ?>

CodePudding user response：

You could make use of htmlentities() function

<input value="<?= htmlentities($row['content']; ?>">

CodePudding user response：

Use the function htmlspecialchars_decode by doing:

echo '<input value="'.htmlspecialchars_decode($row['content']).'">' ;
