    You want a full <link> tag within the attribute? That's very odd, but look into htmlspecialchars then. Commented Apr 17, 2019 at 14:42

  • because in your $minCss variable you have <link href="something" so you obtaine <input type="hidden" value="<link href="something"" rel="stylesheet"> id="snippet_resource"/> Commented Apr 17, 2019 at 14:42

You need to escape HTML entities to include your value into the attribute. You may use htmlspecialchars:

<input type="hidden" value="<?= htmlspecialchars($minCss) ?>" id="snippet_resource" />

thanks, it worked for me... someone voted this negative... is it silly question?
@UpasanaChauhan I think it was unclear why you were doing what you were doing. It probably seemed a rather unusual thing to do, sending that string as a form input. I can't say for sure, because I was not the downvoter.
