Do you mean to change the web address output or am I reading this wrong?

Please explain it a bit more...

No need to use strip_tags as that will remove the html code too

Solution
As you included other variables which outputting, you need to use:

"{" and "}" before and after the variable respectively

So your new PHP Code:

echo "        <p class='select_text' align='center'><b>URL:</b> <input tabindex='1' value='[IMG]{$siteURL}/{$uploadDir}/{$name}[/IMG]' onclick='this.focus();this.select();' size='65' /></p>"; 

My whole code:

<?php
$siteURL = "http://localhost.com";
$uploadDir = "uploads";
$name = "filename.png";
echo "        <p class='select_text' align='center'><b>URL:</b> <input tabindex='1' value='[IMG]{$siteURL}/{$uploadDir}/{$name}[/IMG]' onclick='this.focus();this.select();' size='65' /></p>";  
?>

You're gonna have to explain what it is that you are trying to do. Only then can we assist you with it @OP

^^^^^^

He wants to actually just output the code in this form:



he wont be able to direct output the variables

There he would have to use { and } before outputting it

Edit: Thats only what i see the problem in the code else you need to describe more

[Lifetalk]

Or he could simply wrap the code with variables in double quotes instead of single quotes.

OR, he could close single quotes where he encounters variables and re-open them later.

{ and } is not the only solution (assuming that's what he wants to do)
