Hi!

Let's pretend I take Userdata, and save it in a file or database (like a forum or shoubox).
How could I secure the script so that users can enter stuff like "<script>*</script>" and stuff, so that the browser displays it and does not run the script. I always used to use strip_tags to secure my scripts, but it removes the code and does not convert it in something that the browser displays.

Same with "<?php ?>" and similar (binary safe). I guess there needs something to be like an encoding?

Thx for your time reading this post

If you're outputting HTML, use htmlspecialchars() to encode ampersands (&), angled brackets (<>) and (optionally) single/double (' ") quotation marks.

Thx for the answer, will read up on htmlspecialchars().
