How to encode Text with php to htmlentities.?

Question

<div id="userpost">
<?php echo $txt; ?>
</div>

<?php $txt="yeah yeah"; ?>

I want the echo on the div to be the normal text but if you look at the source it would be something like this

&#89;&#101;&#97;

Not sure about your server setup, but mine wouldn't response to <php>...perhaps you meant <?php ?? — bpeterson76

is that source code or source in the browser? Check the encoding of the file — usoban

As long as it's being displayed correctly as html, don't worry about the source. Can you provide us link to the live site for testing? — HyderA
