You're putting that string in HTML and it's being evaluated by the
browser. It sees the < as the beginning of a tag, so it's looking for a
tag to follow. Tags that the browser doesn't recognize are just not
shown. Try to put  in your HTML and it won't show up (may depend on
browser). 

What you want to do is use an HTML entity for the <, > and other
characters. < would be <, > is >. You can also use the
htmlentities() or htmlspecialchars() function in PHP to do the
conversion for you automatically.
