如何修复下拉菜单?所有选择显示“>&”；

这是我的下拉菜单代码。在一台服务器上，会显示相应的数字。但在另一个菜单中，我看到下拉菜单中的每个选项都显示">"。我猜这与php.ini文件有关，但我不确定。。。

<?php
// connect to the database
require 'connect.php';
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Drop Down Menu to choose Start and End dates
$startyear = ""; 
$startmonth = "";
$startday = "";
$endyear = "";
$endmonth = "";
$endday = "";
// Array of values for form
$year  = range(1998,2012);
$month = range(01,12);
$day   = range(01,31);
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST')
{
    foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
    {
        if(is_numeric($value))
        {
            $$key = $value;
        }
    }
}
?>
<form name='update' action='' method='POST'>
Start: <select name='startyear'>
    <?php foreach(array_reverse($year) as $y):?>
    <option value="<?=$y?>"<?=((isset($startyear) && $startyear == $y)?' selected':null)?>><?=$y?></option>
    <?php endforeach;?>
</select>
<select name='startmonth'>
    <?php foreach($month as $m): $m = str_pad($m, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);?>

<input type='submit' value='View'/>
</form>
