Stop parsing

Recommended Posts

I have a profile system on my website which allows members to fill in fields with data

For example

[b]First name = Jamie[/b]

But, what happens when you get a scripty who comes along and does this

[b]First name = <? echo "HI"; ?>[/b]

It screws up the page... I need a way to stop it from parsing

I have found a tag called [b]<xmp> [/b] which does actually work for both HTML and PHP suprisingly

Im just wondering if this is the proper way to go about protecting my site from code injection.

If it is, do I have to wrap <xmp></xmp> around any dynamic data a member can submit

Thanks
