[SOLVED] How to disallow HTML in a textarea before inserting into MySQL database

[boo_lolly]

I can't seem to find the way you make sure a user isn't entering any HTML into a textarea when you submit it into the database. how can you check for that?

[The Little Guy]

you could let them enter it then remove it...

 

strip_tags()
