Disabling HTML

[Nathan__02]

how do u disable html in a foruM? thanks alot 🙂

you can just echo htmlspecialchars($postcontent); and all the tags will become literal.. i.e. it will display <font size=5>text</font> instead of text in font size 5.

You can also use [man]strip_tags()[/man] to fully remove the tags...

<?php

// here's a little string with html in it:
$str = "I have a little <b>site</b> with news!<br/>\n";
$str .= "<a href=\"http://www.site.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Visit my site</a>\n";
// remove the html:
$str = strip_tags( $str );
// print the string:
echo $str;

?>
