ok i have a question, i want to know if its possible to remove script tags or commands when a person is posting a message. to better clarify here is an examle. i am making a shout box script. and i want to make sure that someone who post cannot put any script in it, i want to make it so that no matter what is posted it is pure text. example i dont want someone to post any javascript or pp script or any other script at that that can be parsed by the browser or the server (php5 only). i have no clue where to start so if you can please help me i will appreciate it, thank you.
