forms question [PHP]

I have a textfield, you can write stuff in it and u can submit it and it will show what you wrote on another page + it will create a file of wat you wrote, but when you type in a php script like
<?php
echo "YO Yo YO";
?>
it shows
<?php
echo \"YO Yo YO\";
?>
how do you make it so whateva you type in the textfield will show you exactly how you wrote.
Thanx

Put this at the top of your script:

set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);

echo '&lt;div align="left"&gt;YO Wats up&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;';

If you want php to convert < to &lt; and > to &gt; you can use $newtext = htmlspecialchars($text);

Learn about:
html vs display
magic quotes and how they suck

Either turn magic quotes gpc off, or use stripslashes()
