Hey, htmlentities doesn't work in this code of mine, someone know why?
Check line 11-14
Thanks.

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3. <title> Welcome <?php echo $_GET['name']; ?> </title>
  4. </head>
  5. <body bgcolor="<?php echo $_GET["favcolor"]; ?>"?
  6.  
  7. <h1> Welcome <?php echo $_GET['name']; ?> </h1> <br />
  8.  
  9. <?php 
  10.  
  11. foreach ($_GET as $key => $verdi) {
  12. $verdi = htmlentities($verdi);
  13. $key = htmlentities($key);
  14. }
  15. echo "You live in ";
  16. echo $_GET['country'];
  17. echo ", ";
  18. echo $_GET['city'];
  19. echo " And your favorite color is "; 
  20. switch ( $_GET['favcolor'] ) {
  21.  
  22. case "#ff0000";
  23. $favcolortext="Red";
  24. break;
  25.  
  26. case "#8bcdff";
  27. $favcolortext="Blue";
  28. break;
  29.  
  30.  
  31. case "#fff600";
  32. $favcolortext="Yellow";
  33. break;
  34.  
  35. case "#0cff00";
  36. $favcolortext="Green";
  37. break;
  38.  
  39. case "#a200ff";
  40. $favcolortext="Purple";
  41. break;
  42.  
  43. case "#6000ff";
  44. $favcolortext="Violet";
  45. break;
  46.  
  47. case "#ff68e1";
  48. $favcolortext="Pink";
  49. break;
  50.  
  51. case "#fbfadd";
  52. $favcolortext="Vanillia";
  53. break;
  54.  
  55. case "#730404";
  56. $favcolortext="Dark Red";
  57. break;
  58.  
  59. case "#10057a";
  60. $favcolortext="Dark Blue";
  61. break;
  62.  
  63. case "#157a05";
  64. $favcolortext="Dark Green";
  65. break;
  66.  
  67. case "#17bb9e";
  68. $favcolortext="Cyan";
  69. break;
  70.  
  71. case "#40f0fb";
  72. $favcolortext="Baby Blue";
  73. break;
  74.  
  75. }
  76.  
  77. echo "$favcolortext.";
  78.  
  79. ?>
  80. </body>

You are just setting the value to a variable.

You should do something like this:
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. foreach( $_GET as $key => $val ) {
  2.   $_GET[$key] = htmlentities( $val );
  3. }
Google is your friend.

Use [code] tags.

If you have found a solution to your problem, please mark the thread as SOLVED.

Thanks alot, it helped.
Could you explain me one more thing, my books is telling me to do it like this:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. foreach ($_GET as $key => $val) {
  2. $val = htmlentities($val);
  3. if ( $key <> "name")
And it says " So on..." the books doesn't tell me more about this.
My question is what is this "<>" function called and what does it do?
or what should I search on google to get more info about this.

Thanks.
