The problem is of course that you have totally failed to understand the
problem I was in fact having.
It has NOTHING to do with the browser.
The string output was never going anywhere NEAR a browser.
The problem was how to CONSTRUCT a string using PHP, to put in a file or
a database, that contain PHP escape sequences.
Without. PHP interpreting them AS escape sequences.
That is given the string $something, how to make
$new="?>".$something."<?";
without PHP instantly thinking you wanted to print $something on stdout.

Ineptocracy
(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
