how can i get it to come out like:

<img src="/images/content/user/3/127.jpg" height="451" width="804" /><br />

Answer 1

PHP won't strip characters from the output, unless you're using some kind of output filter. Most likely whatever you're viewing the HTML in is doing the stripping - Firebug will, for one. Try a plain 'view source' view instead.

Answer 2

Actually, when you view the page source. It's displayed with the \\> . Are you viewing this from firebug or inspect element from chrome?
