title: Angle brackets in PHP string
body: <p>It keeps killing me for some time...</p>
  
  <p>I'm new to php and I'm writing a parser for price comparison site, therefore I need to have quite a few variables:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$plae = "&lt;pastwisko&gt;";
  $user = "&lt;krowa&gt;";
  $product "&lt;trawa&gt;";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But without spaces...</p>
  
  <p>Using or echoing those gives me nothing. I've tried to search stackoverflow, google and php documentation and nothing... maybe my english sucks... </p>
  
  <p>Thou I'll be really greatfull for help</p>
