Description:
------------
PHP breaks when I add "<" to any string

For example

$test="Test<ing";

echo $test

the result would be

Test

Instead of

Testing

This ONLY happens when running using the apache module.

If I run with command line, with the PHP binary, it works ok

Reproduce code:
---------------
$test="Testing<br>\n";
$test.="adding string\n";
$test.="<testing>\n";
echo $test;

Expected result:
----------------
Testing<br>
adding string
<testing>

Actual result:
--------------
Testing
adding string

Uh, you did a "view source" right?

yeah rasmus@php.net

If you did a view source you would see the raw <> tags there.  PHP 
prints them out nicely.  It is your browser interpreting them as html 
tags which means you can only see them when you view the source.

add string<br> 
<testing><br> 


Oh ok, I got it

so my browser thinks it's HTML?

I thought it was PHP error
