    Hello

    How can I show a HTML code in PHP?

    Such as:

    <?
    echo '
    <form method="post" action=""><br/>
    <!-- Inputs Go Here --><br/>
    </form>';
    ?>

    Without it actually creating the form, so on the page you would see the code:
    <form method="post" action="">
    <!-- Inputs Go Here -->
    </form>

    Any help is appreciated.

    Edit, never mind, found out I had to use character entities.

    Don't use PHP...
    <?php // Any code
    ?>
    <pre>
    <form method="post" action="">
    <!-- Inputs Go Here -->
    </form>
    </pre>
    <?php // Any more code
    ?>

    Better still, don't put HTML code in your PHP files. :) Use a template library such as smarty or phplib's instead.

    Maybe I'm getting completely off base...
    
<?php
  $str="<p>Some Example</p>";
  echo htmlentities($str);
?>
    Code (markup):

You can use ADV echo...

<?php
echo <<<html
<form action="ccc.php" method='post>
...
</form>
html;
?>
