Thomas, the problem is with the ability of the poster you are applying to
to comprehend and understand string handling in php, and what his browser
views as an element.
Most of us understood the need to use < and why in html if we wanted a
less than symbol within a few months at most of starting to use html.
Some others will never understand it.
Also, as you have noticed, the failure modes that some people post are
not the failures that occur in the circumstances they describe. When you
see this, you can usually assume that the person concerned does not, to
use a common term, know their arse from their elbow.
