Escape Tags In A String
I have a complete file in a single-line string. Now this string also contains <? and ?> or other script-tags. Of course if I "print" or "echo" the string the php won't be interpreted. But that is exactely what I want. I want scripts like PHP to be executed when I print that string e.g. in a template. Instead it shows something like this: " This is the content of my file <? echo "__FILE__"; ?> which I want to execute scripts. " Anyone know how to have them PHP-Tags be processed?

Do I Need To Escape This Code?
After you all gave me some good advice recently, I'm back for more :o) On my web site, I want to display a 'log out' icon with some text underneath, ("Log out"), which, when clicked, will end a session. This is the simple code I'm using for the icon: <a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?action=log_out"> <img border="0" src="images/logout.gif" width="74" height="74"><p style="text-align: center"> This all works fine and, when clicked, the session is ended and the user returns to my web site's home page. Now's the complicated, (Well for me, anyway), bit; I only want to show the 'log out' icon when the user is actually logged in. So, I've been using isset to determine the session state: <?php if (isset($_SESSION['user'])) {?> <a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?action=log_out"> <img border="0" src="images/greenround.PNG" width="74" height="74"><p style="text-align: center"> <?php }?>

Escape To Unicode?
I've begun dealing with PHP's XML functions (puttup!) I shoudl say- php's DEFAULT XML functions, no extensions. Probably not 5.0. I don't care... The POINt is, they choke on funny characters, even encoded funny characters. You need to use the unicode. (change ñ to ). Whatevuh. That's why, why- now ignore that part, because it will distract and proably cause you to misconstrue the thrust of the question to follow: Does PHP have a function that will escape all funny characters in a string (encoded, unencoded, both, either...) to their unicode equivilants? In a string- ignore the XML parts of this question. (I'm looking at pre-proscessing the data coming into forms that will form the offending XML)

Php Rawurldecode From Javascripts' Escape()
I'm sending some vars to php from javascript. These vars contain special chars (like "&" ,",")and also turkish characters. Therefore I'm using javascripts escape() function to be able to send them properly. My problem is on the php side. I am using rawurldecode to convert them back. However, Turkish characters like "I" (capital "I" with a dot on top) for example still stay encoded as "%u0130". My page is setup to handle turkish chars and if sent from a database, display properly. I've googled for an answer and cant find anything. I've also tried looking at base64 encoding from javascripts' end, to again decode using base64Decode from php, but nothing seems to work right.

Stripos And Escape Characters
I got a problem and i'm stumped. I am using the strripos function to find the position of a string.

But with this string: Poster</td><td align="left" valign="top"><img src=" No matter what I try, it doesn't find it, although I'm sure its part of the string. This command craps out: strripos($mystring, "Poster</td><td align="left"") But this command works: strripos($mystring, "Poster</td><td") I narrowed it down to the " a" in the word "align" giving me the problems. What am I doing wrong?
