Hello,
I'm saving HTML code to a session variable:
$_SESSION["recuperarInvalido"] = "<p id='recuperarInvalido'> O e-mail introduzido é inválido! </p>";
But when typing the value of the session variable:
echo htmlentities($_SESSION["recuperarInvalido"]);
In the browser it looks like this:
<p id='recuperarInvalido'> O e-mail introduzido é inválido! </p>
But it should look like this:
O e-mail introduzido é inválido!
echo $_SESSION["recuperarInvalido"];
Just remove the "htmlentities ()" because it was done to convert the html into string, to literally show the html on the front!
Miguel,
I looked it up here, and according to w3schools the htmlentities function is used to just do the opposite of what you want. It was made so that a String is completely displayed by the browser, no matter what its content. So char < and > are converted to < and > and are not interpreted by the browser as html tags, but as text.
To get what you want, simply remove the htmlentities function:
echo $_SESSION["recuperarInvalido"];
However, I must warn you that this will work, but it is not the best approach. I think it's not good practice to write HTML code in the backend, I usually leave the HTML for the template file.
The user Guilherme posted a answer just below that leaves the php code of your backend, more separate from your HTML code.
Let's see, you could store session values in a variable $session
$session = $_SESSION["recuperarInvalido"] = 'O e-mail introduzido é inválido!';
Here you check if there is $_SESSION['recuperarInvalido'] , if there is yes you have the browser render.
<?php
if (isset($session)) {
?>
<p id='recuperarInvalido'> ><?php echo $session; ?> </p>
<?php } ?>
In this way I find it more practical.
