PHP analogue for rails html_safe

Question

What command in php does what html_safe in Ruby on rails?

I have just found htmlspecialchars, but it doesn't do what i need

I just want to use im my mailer <h1><? 'php some php code'.html_safe?> </h1>.

What do you need? Do you want to HTML encode a String? Or do you want to reverse the encoding? — Wukerplank, Jun 20 '17 at 11:38

Not knowing rails, I had to lookup the function. From what I understood, it basically asserts that the string is "fine"/is not a threat. Again, I don't know how it works in rails, but in PhP, every string is assumed safe, and it's the dev who has to take measures if he considers a string could be unsafe (using, for instance, htmlspecialchars ).

If all I said sounds right, you would want to simple echo the string

<h1><?php echo $string ?></h1>

or, using the

<h1><?= $string ?></h1>

If you want to insert it as a link, you have to manually write it as

<h1><a href="<?= $string ?>"></a></h1>

Additionally, if the string was an encoded url, you'd want to use

<?= urldecode($string) ?>

Hope this helps
