Re: problems with htmlentities(noob question)

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. }

Re: problems with htmlentities(noob question)

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.
