showing entire string?

[form3hide]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to display everything in the string. That is, so you see all HTML code within it -- including javascript, css, and the like. I don't want it to display the string in bold, italic, or anything like that.

The reason, for this, is because I have a field on my site and I don't want people to process malicious scripts through this field -- I'd rather it just display everything and not process any of the code within it.

Any tips?

To make tags safe for printing:

print htmlspecialchars($whatever);
