print the contents of PHP variable as text string in HTML

Question

in a wordpress php script, I have the following:

echo \'
\' . $slide_media . 
     \'
\' . \         


        

Answer 1

I would do:

echo '
' . var_export($slide_media, true) . '
';

Or maybe

echo '
' . var_export(array_map('htmlentities', $slide_media), true) . '
';

If $slidemedia is an array with html content.
