Honoré Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Try the following script:[code]<html><head></head><body><p>You entered te following comment:</p><p>Without htmlspecialchars:</p><p><?phpecho $_POST['comment'];?></p><p>With htmlspecialchars:</p><p><?phpecho htmlspecialchars($_POST['comment']);?></p><p>Enter new comment:</p><form method="POST" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"><input name="comment" type="text" /><input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" /></form></body></html>[/code]And enter the following text as comment:normal <b>bold</b> <i>italic</i>Don't you see a difference with or without htmlspecialchars?

wildteen88 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 if you want your line breaks to be preserved use nl2br, ie:[code]$comment = nl2br(htmlspecialchars($_POST[comment]));[/code]nlsbr converts new line characters (\r or \n) to a html line break (< br / >) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
