Question

I have passing some contents to facebook share url. Which contains some html also.

The problem is it cannot handle the html, When I write , it displays it instead of bolding the text in these tags.

So How will I handle it? I use htmlentities(), htmlspecialcharacters(), and urlencode() but could not solved the problem.

You should use urlencode() and do something like:

$link = '<a href="http://www.example-site.com/index.html">link-text</a>';
$encoded = urlencode($link);

If I understand your question and comment correctly, you want to show a bold text instead of the HTML itself.

So, if you are showing the HTML by doing urlencode() that means the encode is one to many, try without the urlencode()

If that doesn't work, then probably HTML is not supported there.
