Right, if I want to show </textarea> in a textbox without closing it (the tag), how can I do it?

eg

HTML Code:

<textarea>
Hello, here is my text box <textarea></textarea>

</textarea>

Thanks

Code:

<textarea>
Hello, here is my text box <textarea><code></textarea></code>

</textarea>

I think.

Close tag:

HTML Code:

No problem, but you should know this as it is part of PHP security

You never echo any html generated by a user without running it in htmlentities else your site is open to XSS (cross-site scripting).
