Need a way to display a link unrendered 1

[webslinga]

hey all,
I need to figure out how to display a link "as-is"(without actually rendering the link). Anyone got any ideas? i tried the HTML code tag <code></code> but that does not appear to work. Thanks for this.

Are you asking a TGML question in the PHP forum?

Let me be more specific!

$url = "<a href='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com'>Google</a>";[/URL]
<?php echo $url; ?>

I want the following to echo out

<a href='

http://www.google.com'>Google</a>

instead of a hyperlink to Google. I hope that more clearly illustrates why I posted here in the PHP forum.

I suggest you look at the function [blue]htmlentities()[/blue]
in the php online manual.

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
