Simon Roberts, jim o'Reilly,

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but you're probably asking how you 
can display the text-strings that came from Oracle into HTML? There are 
some characters that will "confuse" HTML, so you need to convert things 
like less-than '<' to &lt; and ampersand '&' to &amp;.

There is a PHP function that does this for you : htmlspecialchars() see
