I don't want to ..... ?

[PHPLOVER07]

Hi,

I programmed a script for questions and answers, a user type a question then submit it to the database, I don't want to allow visitors type html codes to database ?

Thanks

You can simply strip them out of the input with [man]strip_tags/man. Or if you want to generate an error at the form and have the user re-submit:

if($_POST['question'] != strip_tags($_POST['question']))
{
   // input error
}
else
{
   // valid input
}

Thank you very much !

strip_tags() will remove html codes only or what ?

for example a visitor sent :-

I <b>Have</b> question

the strip_tags() will remove the <b></b> ?

Thanks

strip_tags will remove all html and php. It does not validate the code though
