It is highly likely that the code has been passed through htmlentities twice. Probably when it was stored and then a second time when it is being output. This problem started when the forum was converted to VB.

To fix the problem, someone would need to go through the database and run html_entity_decode() on the data.

If you want to use the posted code, make a small php form with a textarea that passes the entered content through html_entity_decode() and saves it to a file. The code in the resulting file should be correct.

Codewalkers is a good site and i think they should give this problem a higher priority and not let their tutorials be waisted.

If some one spent 2 or 3 hours with their excellent coding skills they would be able save all the tutorials with this problem.

The problem does not seem to be present when the php highlighting is used.

Here is a quick form and form processing code that will save the code with the html entities replaced with their actual values -

Code:
<form method="post" action="htmldecode.php">
<textarea name="textarea" rows="15" cols="70">Paste code here</textarea><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>


PHP Code:
<?php
// minimal form processing code to decode html entities and save to a file
$file_name = "output.php"; // name of file to save output in
file_put_contents($file_name, html_entity_decode($_POST['textarea']));
echo "See: $file_name for fixed code.";
?>

Hi All,

The issue has been corrected in the article. Are there any other articles with this issue?

Thanks,
