PHP string with link inside

Question

I have this Wordpress function:

function register_text( $translated ) {
    $translated = str_ireplace('Register',  'REGISTER',  $translated);
    return $translated;
}

add_filter(  'gettext',  'register_text'  );
add_filter(  'ngettext',  'register_text'  );

I would like for "REGISTER" to be <a href="#register"></a> REGISTER

The question would be I guess: how to add html inside that string.

Thank you and sorry if this is too obvious. Total php newbie here

Answer 1

function register_text( $translated ) {
    $translated = str_ireplace('Register',  '<a href="#register"></a> REGISTER',  $translated);
    return $translated;
}

Seems that you call the filter function from inside htmlspecialchar() thath render the login box also. Check the login template.
