[TxMt] PHP echo wrap

[Charley Tiggs]

Actually, there are times when I'm "buffering" the output of the html by 
saving the results of the logic into a variable and the ob_* functions 
are not appropriate.  In that case, I need to be able to escape the 
html, whether it's using single quotes or double quotes to define the 
strings.  I don't want anything output until the logic has run it's course.

I'm guessing the original poster has similar requirements.  Not to 
mention that it may well be a matter of preference.
