Re: Html output escaping html elements

[Rick James]

A Windows version gives a bad answer:
C:>mysql -H -e "select '<';" -u root -pm-sql
<TABLE BORDER=1><TR><TH><</TH></TR><TR><TD><</TD></TR></TABLE>

The &lt; is needed to avoid problems.

What would this give you on your various machines?
mysql -H -e "select '</TD></TR></TABLE>';"
And try putting the output of that into a web page!

Or this
mysql -H -e "select '<!-- ';"
