How to display special characters in PHP

Question

I\'ve seen this asked several times, but not with a good resolution. I have the following string:

$string = \"
Résumé
\";

Answer 1

So I try htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities() which outputs

Résumé

and the browser renders

Résumé

.

If you've got it working where it displays Résumé with

tags around it, then just don't convert the paragraph, only your string. Then the paragraph will be rendered as HTML and your string will be displayed within.
