One more thing, striping html when output.

[inkfish]

I want so that if a user writes: <b> (and every other html tag) it will not be a bold text but it will be written just like that <b>. BUT i want the user to be able to write for example: (URL=http://url)something(/URL) and it will be a hyperlink. the ()' should be changed to []'s instead, just couldnt write it here.

what i've got now is this:

function OutputText($text)
{
    $text = stripslashes($text); 
    $text = htmlentities($text); 
    $text = nl2br($text);
    return $text; 
}
