foreach question

[Anon]

Can someone please take a quick look at this function? It's returning the unedited array -- not the one properly encoded. Also, should I be doing anything else to this data to properly display it as html, or store it into a mysql database?

Thanks much,

Andrew

function cleanHTML($html) {
foreach ($html as $field) {
$field = nl2br(htmlspecialchars($field));
}
return $html;
} # END function cleanHTML

You will have to construct a return array or use another looping structure (for loop) to make the changes.
