php_begins Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi, I have trouble displaying form data. For example, if a user enters <html tag>HEllo</html tag> in the form field, I need to strip the tags and also render the html useless. Right now I do something like this, echo strip_tags($message); It removes the tags alright, but the html code is still functioning. how do i fix it so that it removes the tag and also makes the html tags non functional.

fugix Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 the html will be non-functional after they are placed into strip_tags() Are you saying that you dont want the text in between the tags to display at all?

php_begins Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 so sorry, i made some syntatic mistake. It works now. I thought I had to use other functions in addition to strip_tags..
