You can use
htmlspecialchars

hello, jjozsi.

thanks for help

when i use

$var = $row['home'];

function formspecialchars($var)
    {
        if (is_array($var)) {
            $out = array();
            foreach ($var as $key => $v) {
                $out[$key] = formspecialchars($v);
            }
        } else {
            $out = htmlspecialchars_decode($var);
            $out = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(trim($out)), ENT_QUOTES);
        }

    return $out;
}

echo $var;

It works for html when I include e.g. $var = "<font>" but when I do what I did here the output is still html code...

then you created the fiunction, call it:

echo formspecialchars($var);

let us give an example from one row:

this should be work:

$var = $row['home']; 
print htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($var));
