I have the following html/php code:

<div class="col-xs-3 description-status-row" title = "'.$element['description'].'">
    '.$description.' 
</div>

$element['description'] contains special characters which is the ff:

NG - 55205 - Cannot execute Program line. Machine data read error (incorrect setup of MXF parameters). Center 1 :IF ( TX < RDM("ponte_registro""1"="" "mindgxcarrelgloy2") * 1 m) = " " " = " "

The <RDM part is messing up my codes and closing the </div> How do I prevent this from happening?

Try using htmlspecialchars($element['descrption']) instead – Dylan Kas Jul 02 '19 at 08:20

Why using special characters in the title attribute of the div? You could clean it. – Giacomo M Jul 02 '19 at 08:26
